LANCASTER – Michael “Mickey” J. Kristoff, Jr., 88, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Lancaster, Mickey was the son of Michael J. and Mary Rose (Calcia) Kristoff and was a lifelong resident of Lancaster.

He enjoyed spending time at the barn, gardening, riding his red tractor, going out to eat and simply spending time with his family. Mickey’s favorite pastime was watching his beloved Boston Red Sox and classic westerns. He had an outstanding work ethic and would never put off a project that could be done today. Above all, Mickey loved his family and will be remembered for his perseverance and strong faith.
