Jerome Krupka Obituary
He was an avid NASCAR fan and would talk for hours to anyone who would listen. He spent many hours at WIR racetrack with his brothers and son. He was fondly known as "Mr. Fix-It"; anytime something was broken or not working correctly, the first person everyone turned to was Jerry. He was a kind, patient and gentle man who was always there for his family and friends.
Jerry will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 58 years, Peg (Kloes), and children Kris (Mike) Sherry and Greg (Rebecca) Krupka; grandchildren Jacob (Samantha) Sherry, Jordan (Rachel) Sherry, Joey (Kaitlin) Sherry, Jenna (fiance Alex Moz) Sherry, Luke Krupka and Claire Krupka; great grandchildren Mattingly and Montgomery Sherry; brothers Frank (Bonnie) Krupka and Jim (Kay) Krupka; sisters Virginia (Larry) Miller, Marie (Dave) Draper and Carol Mitchell; brother-in-law Paul Berggren; sisters-in-law Bonnie Krupka and Barbara Krupka; along with many nieces, nephews and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Elizabeth Krupka; parents-in-law Roland and Jane Kloes; brothers Joseph Krupka, Dennis Krupka, Norbert Krupka, John Krupka and George Krupka; brothers-in-law Bill Zanzig and Bob Mitchell; and sisters-in-law Patricia Zanzig, Judy Berggren, Jean Krupka and Mary Ann Krupka.
The family would like to thank the ICU team at ThedaCare Neenah for their wonderful care and support.
A memorial service for Jerry will be held Friday, May 23, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. at Valley Funeral Home, 2211 N. Richmond St., Appleton. Visitation will begin at the funeral home at 12:30 p.m. and will continue until the time of the service. For online condolences, please visit www.valleyfh.com.

I was so sorry to hear about Jerry. We spent many Christmas eves making fun of the rest of the family:) Such a sweet man. The Zanzig send good thoughts and prayers to Peggy and the rest of the family. Too much loss lately.
Love,Ann Zanzig
