Robert E. Krodel Sr.

Dear Krodel Family: Your Father was a special and unusual man...Always full of funny things to say and music in his heart, all the time. I remember such fun we always had in West Virginia and when he and Liz visited us in Gettysburg. He will be missed by so many people who's lives he had touched with his voice. I have a picture of Bob and his chorus in England, singing "The White Cliffs of Dover" in front of those special cliffs. I will never forget him. Rest in Peace Dear Friend...Cousin Ruth Ruckman Neal

God be with you Bob.

Our sincere condolences to Rob and the rest of the family. Bob was influential in introducing me to and instilling a love of barbershop harmony. In the middle 1970s, mainly through Bob's encouragement, I served as his chorus director at the Rose City Chorus, and remember singing late into the evening in pick-up quartets at St. Mark's Church on Monday nights. He will be dearly missed and I will think about him as my favorite Baritone. Over the years I loved walking into the rehearsals and hear Bob begin leading the song for me: 'You're as welcome as the flowers in May!', and then invite me to lead the chorus in 'The Old Songs' or 'Keep America Singing'.

What a full life your father had, and he shared it with a wonderful woman.
Maggie, my prayers are with you and your family.

I have to agree, Mr. Krodel was alway impeccably dressed! In more recent years while caring of his wife Elizabeth they were both out and about finely dressed. He took such good care of her.
Always a wonderful man with a great smile.
RIP.

I hadn't seen Mr. Krodel since I left for the Army in 1989, but when Dad mentioned his name, I remembered him immediately. I was an acolyte at St. Marks for many years, and he was always out front, sharply dressed in his light blue suit, greeting folks with the kindest of smiles. Whenever the robes weren't where they were supposed to be, or I needed a new wick, he managed to get things in order before the organ begin to play. I was fortunate to have met such a wonderful man, and he will always have a place in my heart. My prayers go out to all.

Such wonderful memories of almost nightly stops at the house for coffee and everyone holding their sides because of another story from your Dad. Hundreds of Barbershop picnics and shows and always lots of laughs. Dad was such a good man and such a good friend to Barbara and Ray. Margaret, Karen and Rob - you chose wonderful parents. Enjoy the memories. Thinking of you all. Carol

Our deepest condolances karen,Bobby and. family.you're in our prayers.

I extend condolences to the family...Bob was one of Norwich's finest citizens in the fullest meaning of those words...

Always enjoyed his sweetness and happy countenance. Seeing him with his precious wife refreshing. Such a wonderful example of marriage and what it can be.

Our sincere sympathy to the family. Sorry Tom and I will not make the service but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your dad was one terrific man, he will sadly be missed. He is now with the love of his life for them to continue on with our Lord. God Bless them both.

Mr Krodel was a bright and sunny presence to my family and me when we joined the congregation of St Mark Church. He was so friendly, he made us feel so welcome, and his devotion to his beautiful wife was so admirable. Our deepest condolences to all his family and loved ones-Bob will be remembered fondly, always.
Sincerely, Al and Stephanie Trombley & family

Margaret and Family,

Uncle Bob was a much beloved man. His joy was helping people to have a better life. His family reunion picnics at Beach Pond every summer will be a cherished memory for all of us. Our sincere condolences to you all.

Bob,Dave Geer,JimmyQuarto and I spent many days fighting over shots on the raquetball court at the YMCA.He was a "fiesty competitor"! we also spent many times in the sauna and Bob would help pass the time away with many humorous stories. I called him Mighty MOUSE!
