Edward L. Krolak

As I grow older, I realize I am going to witness the loss of people who have made a difference in my life. Ed Krolak was an incredible professor of mine from Illinois Valley Community College. He had wisdom, wit, a sense of irony and a whimsical charm about him. I learned much from him, not only in composition, but in how to properly teach a class. I wrote to him during my teaching career and he was always kind enough to write back and share positive thoughts. If he were ever to walk...

He was my English teacher at LP! Great teacher and mentor! Saw him at Veruchis about 10 years ago. He was my Uncles age and remembered him as a great football player at LP (Malcolm Condie Jr) so sorry for your loss! "Absent from the body, present with the Lord!" Charlene Hudson Johnson '64!

As a student "once upon a time" at IVCC, I remember Mr. Krolak and his patented bowtie in front of the-class. He was a wonderful instructor and man. Our condolences to his family, but what a great and influential life he lived! Damon Cattani Manitowoc, Wi.

I am very sorry for your loss. Please remember that God blesses those who mourn for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) The kindest of thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

A fine teacher and a great Cubs fan! R.I.P.
