Perhaps you sent a lovely card,

Or sat quietly in a chair,

Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,

If so, we saw it there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,

As any friend could say.

Perhaps you were not there at all,

Just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts,

We thank you so much whatever the part.



For the overwhelming support from family and friends...Thank you!!

Kevin, Kathy and all the Krom Family,



My heartfelt condolences go out to all of you at this difficult time. ‘Puck’ will forever be in my thoughts and in my prayers. He had a zest for life and always managed to be the clown in the crowd! I consider myself blessed to have known him and was able to share some of the laughs he gave so freely. May God provide the comfort that you all need, may HE watch over Cathy and the kids and give them the strength that they need and may HE embrace Chris tightly with HIS love, God now has a special Angel.

We at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station would like to express our condolences for your loss of a husband, father and brother. It was pleasure to have Chris install the plumbing in our new laboratory. We were all happy to have known him and will miss his great sense of humor. He was a fun guy to have on the job.

Chris was one of the funniest guys I knew. His stories of all of our misadvetures helped us remember them in the best of humor. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Cathy, Adam, Amy, and the boys,

Shawn and Mike. We are deeply saddened at your loss. Jeff your brother was a great guy and we wish

for you to know that our sympathy is also with you and your brothers and their families.

Puck was the only man I ever saw fix a halfbent out of shape canoe right in the middle of the rapids that bent it. I think he'd like to be remembered like that, bigger than life and enjoying every second of it.

We miss you buddy.

Chris was a stand-up guy and a lot of fun to be around, from what I remember of him. I attended Bullard Havens Tech with him for four years, and we learned the trade together, then was fortunate enough , if only for a short while, to work with him in the field. He worked for my cousin Gerald Yoney for many years, and although he wasn't always happy there, he made the best of it. I keep in touch with some friends from Bullard Havens, and they were all very sad to hear of Chris's untimely death. He will be missed deeply by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
