Arlan Kronfus

I´m pretty sure this is the same person. There was an elderly gentleman years ago that my family and I met in Laughlin Nevada. This fella looked a lot like James Stewart from " It´s A Wonderful Life" He told us that he had been in the military and I´m pretty sure he said he was a teacher. He also said that fruit pectin had cleared out his veins and arteries and stopped him from having any more strokes. I´m so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family and thank you Mr. Kronfus...

I have very fond memories of Mr. Kronfus. He was so full of life and always brought a smile to my face.

I had Mr. Kronfus as my 4th grade teacher. I will never forget him! He had his quirks but they gave him character. I have great memories of him: Snipe hunts at Camp Casey, 2-liter bottles of warm water, special mail order gum w/ zorbitol, and who could forget, walking in a single file line with your arm held out to ensure proper distancing! He would also take my little brother and several other boys on outdoor excursions. Oh, you will be remembered well! Rest In Peace, sir!

Dear Family,
I was so saddened to hear about Arlan's death. I have known him for about 30 years through FOCAS. I always saw him as a very engaging person and really enjoyed being around him and listening to his interesting conversations about every subject you could imagine! He was always pleasant and positive, and had a nice word for everyone. We both had teaching careers (in different districts) so I especially enjoyed hearing about his experiences. We related on that level very...

Mr. Kronfus was my 5th grade teacher at Maywood Hills in Bothell. I will always remember as the bubble gum teacher!

Classmate, class of 1949.

When I was a child growing up in Woodinville, WA Mr. Kronfus was a boarder at my grandmother's house. We lived right next door to her so we all knew him. He was a very nice man and was very good to my grandmother. Even after he moved away they stayed in touch until her death. To this day whenever there is a family gathering he is spoken of fondly as we reminisce. I was very sad to learn of his sudden passing. My heart goes out to his loved ones. Our family will always remember him.

Arlan was my 5th Grade teacher at Maywood Hills Elementary in Bothell WA, in the early 60's. He was a very kind and generous man. He took me on two trips. One to see Arches National Park in Moab Utah and rock hunting in Oregon. He will be sorely missed.

Praying for you.
