KROHLOW, ROBERT F.
Black Creek
Robert F. Krohlow, age 84, passed away on Thursday, January 6, 2011 at his home.
On July 1, 2004 he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma of the spine. We are grateful for his added years of life.
He was born October 12, 1926, son of the late Robert E. and Bertha (Gother) Krohlow. On August 27, 1955, he was united in marriage to Gloria Blom. They were blessed with three sons, Marc, Craig and Neal.
Bob enjoyed watching and playing sports: basketball and football at Bonduel High School, and then playing baseball for Navarino. He bowled for many years and enjoyed dancing, playing cards and visiting with family and friends.
He was a farmer all his life, milking cows and then cash cropping the land. He also sold farm and home insurance for Hartland Cicero for many years. After selling the dairy cows he and Gloria enjoyed doing some traveling. They spent many wonderful January's in Florida by their special friends, Kap and Mo Westphal.
Bob was a lifetime member of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Cicero. He served as chairman of the building committee for the church and added parish hall, both built in the 1960's. He was a very generous man to his family and church. The dove, stained glass window will be a special remembrance of him.
He is survived by his wife Gloria and their children: Craig (Marlene) Krohlow, and their children, Ryan (special friend Haley), Tiffany (Nick) Prodell and Travis; and son, Neal (Jill) Krohlow, and their children: Samuel, Bridget; and Joseph; one brother Edward; one sister-in-law, Adeline "Pudge" (Oliver) Lerum, Seymour; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by a son, Marc; two sisters and their husbands, Irene (Elmer) Conradt and Gladys (Ivo) Huettl; two brothers and a sister-in-law, Edgar (Ruth) Krohlow and Byron Krohlow.
Friends may call at Muehl-Boettcher Funeral Home, Seymour on Sunday, January 9, 2011 from 4 PM until 8 PM. Visitation will continue on Monday, January 10, 2011 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Cicero from 9:30 AM until services at 11 AM with Pastor Ty Stoneburner officiating. Burial in the parish cemetery.
