Bill was a classmate of mine at Wilson Jr. High and Taft High School. He was always a kind and gentle soul. When my mother became ill at her home, she called Bill and he took her to the hospital. I was living in Denver at the time and received a phone call from him about the seriousness of her illness. I will always be grateful for the love and care he gave her. Prayers to his family. I'm sure he was a great husband, father, and grandfather.

Dear Krall family,
Though it's been many years that we've been together, my wife and I have very fond memories of my cousin Bill (JoAnn) and his brother Dennis (Nancy) at Krall family reunions many years ago. Having lived in Fairfield for 30 years it has been amazing to talk with so many people that were patients of Dr. Krall. Many have told us that they are alive because of him. Hearing their stories of praise, not only of his skills as a doctor but as a wonderful man of compassion and friendship always gave me a sense of pride that I was related to him. God truly blessed
Dr. Bill Krall.
Phil and Pam Thompson.

Bill was in my high school class (Taft,1966) and he was truly a gentleman and a scholar, who was nice to everyone and lived a principled life even in high school. His life shows his dedication to his family and community, even through his own illness. I saw him but only briefly at our 50th Taft reunion in 2016, and am very sorry for his departure from this world. He was one of the very good guys. My condolences go to his wife, his three daughters and sons-in-law, and all of his grandchildren. Sally Ireland Robertson,, Wadena, Minnesota

I am deeply saddened to hear about Dr Kralls passing. He was by far the most amazing doctor and man and boss that I have ever met. He truly cared about his patients and about other people in general. I had the pleasure of working for Dr Krall for awhile and he very genuinely loved his work. I am a better person for knowing him. There is a new angel in heaven...RIP

Prayers for the family!! Dr. Krall was an amazing, sweet, and kind person. I was very lucky to have worked as a nurse with him at Mercy Hospital, Fairfield, and to have experienced his presence and SPECIAL care for my mother during her passing. He was one of a kind...God definitely broke the mold on this gentleman!! Such a great loss for everyone..❤

Dr Krall,
He was the kindest doctor that I have ever had the opportunity to work with in Mercy Fairfield Hospital. He always had a smile even when he was truly overworked because he had so many patients, due to his personality and professionalism.
All of my sympathy to the family.
Prayers,

I worked at Mercy Fairfield and knew Dr. Krall for 27 years, and I have never met a doctor with his skill, intelligence, wit, and compassion. Our world is a lesser place for his departing it. Maybe from heaven he will inspire other doctors to emulate his outstanding qualities. May God especially bless his family and friends with peace.

My prayers and thoughts are with his family, colleagues and patients.

Dr. Krall was kind, compassionate and humble. It was a comfort to have him direct us when he was the Medical Director for HOC. We knew that he would answer our questions and needs willingly. He was truly a blessing, truly a great man. My condolences to his family, friends and all who were touched and helped by him.

Having played baseball in the West Side Little League with Denny in the early 1960s, I remember Bill telling us that he was going to be a doctor.
He followed our team ... with his mom and dad ... was at all of our games cheering us on. He got to know my parents during that time as well.
He accomplished what he said he would in becoming a doctor. As he got older and we would see him on occasion around town, he was always the same down-to-earth, friendly, well-mannered Billy Krall we knew in the early 60s.
A good man from a good family.
My sympathies to Denny and the Krall family.

Prayers and condolences to the Krall family and the many lives he has touched. I worked with Bill for 20 years in Mercy Fairfield. As stated by others he was kind, compassionate, caring and a truly great human being. His medical skills are beyond reproach. His sense of humor was wonderful. My girls were friends with his and we did car pools, school events and community activities and he was a great Dad. He saved my daughter's life. He was patient, a wonderful teacher and a great listener. RIP.

Dr Krall touched so many hearts and lives. He made every one he met feel special with his kindness. I had the privilege to work with him for 30 years in the practice he and Dr Herzig built.

When I began working at Mercy (ICU) I kept hearing people mentioning Dr.Krall', one day I asked who he was and one nurse spoke up and said he's the one who walks on water. He was kind, caring and patient. It was a pleasure to work with him.
