He lived in Wayne, Pennsylvania and died on March 8th.

I found out from his Wikipedia entry. What's odd is that there's no mention of his death in the March section of Wikipedia's "Deaths in 2022"!

"Perhaps because the Krushes did not illustrate picture books, but rather books with pictures, they may seem to play a secondary role. Yet in a recent interview in The New York Times Book Review, Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medalist (for The Invention of
Hugo Cabret), cited The Borrowers as the 'most influential book' he read as a child. Selznick’s affectionate tribute, including the confession that he had experienced the book as nonfiction and built furniture for the Borrowers, was a welcome reminder
of the Krushes’ relevance today..."

Excerpt:

"...Prizes are ultimately not the final or most significant evaluation of an artist’s work. Although the Krushes never won a Caldecott, they did illustrate one Newbery and one Newbery Honor book. The Newbery Honor went to Gone-Away Lake by Elizabeth
Enright, and the Newbery to Virginia Sorensen’s Miracles on Maple Hill. This is a wonderful novel which is only superficially dated and still deserves to be read and taught. The 'miracles' of the title are events in the natural world, as well as the
support of community in a small maple sugar producing town in rural Pennsylvania. The Krushes’ pictures, as they always do, work inextricably with the text to create characters and settings to which children will relate. Marly is a ten-year-old girl
whose father, a veteran and former POW, suffers from what we would today identify as PTSD. Had the book been written today, references to clinical depression, even violence, might enter the story. In 1956, allusions to the father’s anger and exhaustion
were enough to explain why the family needs a miracle..."
