Howard Kromm

KROMM , Howard May 20, 1924 - February 1, 2010 Howard Kromm passed away peacefully on February 1, 2010 at the age of 85 years. He will be missed by his loving wife of forty-six years, Seija Kromm; his three daughters, Helen Kromm (Brad Noble), Anne Kromm, and Seija Kromm; and his two grandsons, Adam Kromm and Gideon Seeseequon. Howard was born in Calgary on May 20, 1924 and lived his whole life in the city he loved. He began working for the Canadian Pacific Railway after high school and continued with them during the war. The oil industry beckoned, he changed careers to become a geological technician and retired from Voyager Energy in 1991. Howard was an active man who enjoyed sports. He was an avid hunter and trained field trial award winning black Labrador Retrievers. He loved animals of all kinds and instilled this love in his children and grandchildren. During his retirement he enjoyed spending time with his wife travelling across Canada and Europe, walking his dog along pathways close to the local golf courses, and engaging in lively conversations with everyone he met. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who always put the needs of his family above his own. We want to express our deepest gratitude to the caring staff at Carewest George Boyack.
