Ulrich Johann Cybulka of Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania died Thursday, November 29, 2012 at his residence. He was 82 years old. Ulrich was born December 14, 1929 in East Prussia, the son of the late Wilhelm Czybulka and the late Else Czybulka (nee - Lenkeit).

He came to the United States in 1955 and worked as a carpenter and cabinet maker for Beacon Builders until 1978, for Philadelphia Carpentry in Feasterville until 1981, for Ted Pluetzer Architectural Woodwork of Glenside until 1985, and then worked independently until his retirement in 1991. Ulrich and his family lived on Teesdale Street in Northeast Philadelphia, until moving to Huntingdon Valley in 1980. He was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Olney, the Hermann-Humboldt Lodge No. 125 F. & A.M., and the Cannstatter Volksfest Verein.
