Jeffrey C. Kraus

Jeff - thank you for the gifts you brought to me and my son. I'll always treasure the days spent with you and the kids at DLL. You brought out the best in all of us.

Coach Kraus was one of the best coaches i've ever had. He always had a way of keeping us calm in tough situations. I remember one time when I was in a slump I went up to the plate in the last inning of a tie game. I was extremely nervous and was really serious because it was such a big at bat. I looked down at coach to get my sign and he looked right at me and did the macarena right there. I started laughing, got a hit, and we won the game. That's how coach Kraus was. I always enjoyed playing...

Amazing Father, Amazing Coach, Amazing Man! Jeff will be missed by all of those lucky enough to have shared his life with him.

We were so sorry to hear about our cousin Jeff. Though we haven't seen each other in years we will greatly miss you. Cheryl, though we haven't met our love and prayers go out to you and the family. To Uncle Jack, Aunt Sandy, Wendy and Kim, we are so sorry and wish we could be there with you during this time. Love Georgie & Nancy

Jeff was a great co-worker and I had a chance to get to know him a little bit. I will always remember Jeff for the fun-day he co-organized with me when we went to watch the soccer game and he brought the family van. He always spoke about his kids' sports games with me and those were always great conversations. Jeff will be missed..

Cheryl, I haven't met you, but know your parents from Taneytown Baptist Church. We have lifted your husband, Jeff, in prayer throughout this trial. We're so sorry to hear that he lost his battle, but know that he has won God's favor and that he is with his Father in Heaven. In Christ's Love, Bill and Sandy Derr

We are so sorry to hear of Coach Kraus's death. As an assistant coach for another team, it was obvious he was dedicated to the kids and loved the game. At the last game I saw him coach, he was sitting down along the third base line and very engaged with the kids. None of us had any idea he was sick. Coach Kraus is in all of our thoughts and prayers.

Cheryl,
My daughter Megan just let me know of your husband's death. I'm so sorry and know God is holding him in his hands now and hope you find comfort that. My condolences to all the family.--Jean Stipicevic
