James D. Kranking

Mr. Kranking was one of my favorite teachers. With a quick wit and an easy smile he was lovingly known as the banana man. We were in “Room 222”, which also happened to be the name of the popular TV show at the time. He was a good teacher who had fun with the students and treated them with respect. He’ll never be forgotten by this math student.

I love you so much, Grandaddy! <3 We'll take good care of Grandmommy for you!

I fondly remember Mr Kranking as my math teacher in 1976 in rm 222 of Northwood High School. We called him "Mr. Banana Man" and we had alot of fun in his class. He used to play imaginary golf like Johnny Carson did while we did our seated assignments. Mr. Kranking will be remembered fondly by many of his students. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am just so sad to learn that Jim has passed on. He was such a upbeat and caring presence at all the Potomac Valley Watercolorist banquets which he goodnaturedly attended with Margaret.
Love and Hugs to Margaret and the rest of his family.
