Not sure what to say?

Bob ran a hardware in an old building downtown Newaygo. The basement filled with winding storage areas of plumbing, electrical and anything else for the home. It did not matter how old the part, Bob had one and somehow knew where it was. Bob taught me more than anyone in my life about how to repair anything and most of all "how does it go". I miss his conversation.Frank Janusz

Dear Sharon and family,
Jim and I were sorry to read of Bob's death.
You have our sincere sympathy, and we share with you your sadness, and your and our assurance of God.
Blessings and caring thoughts, Jim and Jean Emery
Your long-ago neighbors on M-37.

Dear Sharon, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the passing of Bob. He was my history book and go to guy on how to take care of my home. I remember going down in the basement of the old hardware to find a part that surely Bob did not carry. He would find the part and then answer all of my questions. He was my " Hero". I will especially miss his conversation.

Dear Sharon and family, so sorry to hear of your loss in the death of Bob. Our thoughts and prayers are and will be with you all in the upcoming days and we entrust you to God's loving grace and care. May you all sense God's presence and peace with each new day.
We will see you in the Spring. Your friends in Christ,
Rev. Gary and Elaine Van Koevering

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Bob touched alot of lives over the years. Al looking like Bob Jr. just a little older, made us feel like part of their family. Al had his picture on the wall of the motel with the Cronk's, Al was referred to as the other son and brother. Customers would come in and come over to Al and ask if he was one of the Cronk brothers. Sometimes he would just play around with it.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Robert Cronk. We used to see him in the restaurant all the time busing tables. We will miss seeing him. You have great memories of him .

You will be missed Bob
