John Krejci Obituary

Krejci, John R. Of Pewaukee. Passed away June 28, 2010, age 71 years. Beloved husband of Patt. Loving father of Robert (Sam), Jill (Russ), Christopher (Tina) and Courtney (Todd). Dear brother of Jim (Vicki). Also survived by nine grandchildren, nephews, other relatives and friends. Memorial Mass Thursday, July 1, at 5 PM, at ST. ANTHONY ON THE LAKE CATHOLIC CHURCH, W280 N2101 Highway SS, Pewaukee. A gathering to celebrate John's life to follow at The Pewaukee Yacht Club. John's family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of AngelsGrace Hospice and his entire team of doctors, for all their compassion and care. In lieu of flowers, memorials for AngelsGrace Hospice would be appreciated. In his words: "If you need to spend money on a newspaper column to let the world know who I was and what achievements I accomplished in life then the heck with it. If you really knew me, then you'd already know."

Patt and family - I wish to express my sincere sympathy in the loss of John. I worked with him for many years at M&I Northern, and he was a true gentleman!

Patt, Courtney and family, I wanted to thank you for providing a beautiful Mass experience for all who attended John's Memorial on Thursday evening. John lived a rich and textured life that could be seen in the faces of the hundreds of guests at the Church. I attended the memorial service with many classmates from John's PHS graduating class of 1956. Our prayers are with you and your family as you begin recovery.

Pat and family, I worked with John at Foundations Bank and truly enjoyed my conversations with him. He was always a down to earth person and told it like it was. The good lord took him too early but we will all have fond memories of John. My prayers are with you and your family. Gail Johnson (Nashotah, WI)

John's work on earth is complete now, while his contributions during his life will live on in the many people he helped in so many ways. He will be missed for sure. John was truly "one of a kind" and definitely a great role model for others to live by.
