Just a funny memory of your DaD and Grandpop...I was in the pool at the campground when all of a sudden" JIM "said there is something nasty in the pool!!! I immediately got out of the pool ""it looked like someone took a dump"....About ten minutes into it,"JIM" said to all of us.. its only a tootsie roll,well I must of laugh for awhile...Till this day when i think about that time at the campground it brings a smile to my face..May God Bless all who loved him...He had a great sense of humor too.......

Sending prayers and all my love to this amazing family. Jim and Jean were the kindest people I have ever met. This family now has two angels keeping watch over them. Although he will be truly missed the loving way Kelly remembers her mother kept her spirit alive and with her everyday and I am sure she will carry Jim's humor and love of family in her heart everyday as well. I will never forget him or his kinds ways. He was truly one of a kind!

Kelly & extended family of Mr. Krecko:
So sorry for your loss, Mr. Krecko was a gentle giant. Always smiling or trying to make someone else smile. Fishtown & Florida has lost a grounded and friendly man. May he rest in peace. May God wrap his arms around all of you as you grieve his passing. He will be missed a lot...
