So sorry we could not be at the services for Uncle Bob. Even though we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together because we lived so far apart, every visit was very special. Uncle Bob was always so happy and his laughter was contagious. His love of jokes was hilarious and I am pretty sure that Kruppy sense of humor is in our DNA. Bob was a very, very special man and will be desperately missed.
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a kind man! Always a warm, welcoming smile. I remember Mr. Kruppstadt since I was a young girl at ECC. He sung with my mom in the choir and served the church body with my dad. Wonderful childhood memories!
