I stumbled upon John s obit accidentally. I worked with John in the early 70 s at American Aniline Chemical Co. We used to chat a lot. He is such a nice guy. We had our daughters around the same time and I remember meeting irene once. What a loss. I was so sad to hear of his passing. God bless all of you. Ellen Deodato

So sorry for your loss Krankel family. I worked with John for 17 years and I can fondly remember every time I asked him how he was he would go on for a half hour about his family... Especially his kids and grandkids. A great man that will be missed by all that knew him. RIP Mr. Krankel (as I called him).
