Harry Behrer Kropp

I'm late to the party on chiming in, but I'd be remiss were I not to celebrate Harry, as we al grieve his passing. I first met Harry & Ed at the Grange Fair in 2004. I'd just begun my doctoral programs and i ran into this dynamic and charming pair who I felt such a kinship with immediately. Not only did we share politics, a background in elementary education (and speaking Spanish) but we had a fortune of fun discussing theatre and catching up whenever the opportunity arose. These two men are...

Senor Kropp was my first Spanish teacher when I was in 4th grade. I am now 65 years old. He brought so much enthusiasm for learning a new language. He was a great teacher. Descansa en paz, Sr. Kropp.

Mr Kropp was my inspiration to go to Penn State. I will never forget his Penn State banner in his 4th grade class room at North Mianus School. Both Mr Kropp and Mr Legutko were friends with my parents. All these years later Harry and I have kept in touch and were planning a get together in State College. I learned Spanish from Harry and Ed and went on to become fluent as a result of their teaching . Mr Kropp, you have inspired many. I can still hear you reading Fudge, and Super Fudge ! Just...

I first met Harry at North Mianus School where he taught 3 of our 4 children over the years. In time I got to know him and Ed as wonderfully talented educators and fun friends. RIP dear friend.

Dear Ed, Fond memories of you and Harry teaching in the FLES program while we worked together in Greenwich. You have my deepest sympathy and condolences. Dan Williams

I first met Harry and Ed (as we know, it is hard to say one without the other) in my search for my first real job along the railroad route from New Haven to NYC. When I called the Greenwich foreign language department chairman Jan Caulkin, she immediately put me in touch with Harry and Ed. I had my interview with them in Dunkin´ Donuts in Cos Cob and we spent an hour laughing our heads off and having a great time. A lifelong friendship was born. Our social life included wonderful...

I am so sorry for your loss I will always remember your visits to the waffle shop Kathy
