Robert Kraus Sr.

So sorry to hear about Robert Krause Sr. what a great man. I read his comments came online and were always enspiried by him. He drove me to find out more about him. What an exceptional gentleman.

In one comment section I mentioned that I had Barberton chicken, he said, take me next tim, I regret I never did.

Please know, Robert was a special man beyond any expectation. RIP old friend.

Knowing there were Krause's in my family background, I asked my father about the Kraus family as it related to the Friess family. I found that Bob was in fact my father's first cousin.

Dear Kraus Family Members,

I remember each and every one of you so very well even though we have lost touch as adults. I am sorry I was not able to be at the funeral last week.

What a card shark he was indeed. We celebrated may times at each...

Dear Kraus Family: I was alerted today by Saint Charles Prep that my friend Robert Kraus had died. I am saddened by this news and wish to extend my sympathies.

I found Mr Kraus to be a fabulous pen pal and will miss his wit, inquisitiveness, tremendous recall for events and people whom he encountered 75-80 years ago at 2010 East Broad Street, and his zest for life. He was a Carolian through and through and never lost his love for our alma mater. The school has developed a museum...

Mr Kraus was a special man and a dear friend of my Dad, Ralph Maher. Theresa and the entire family is in my thought and prayers.

Our prayers are with you and your family. He was a sweet man and always said hi to us when he was over at your house. He lived a great long life and is in heaven with his lovely wife.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
