A total of 16 years past in 3 days .... I still remember you Mark, although there have been so many changes since you've been gone, as it should be.

Although it’s been years since Dr. Krell left us I remember him regularly. I’ve worked with many therapists over the years and he was by far the most talented. I learned so much from him and he helped me through a difficult time. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends and other patients who still feel his loss.
October 12, 2017
So death visits again. I would have never been whole again after the last one, without your wisdom. I'm cried out now and broken hearted for this latest loss, but I remain whole. You would be proud of me, I think.

Since I had lost touch, Mark's passing still hasn't truly hit home. He taught me how to water ski at Guntersville. I have missed him even before he passed and those of you closest to him don't even know who I am. Only fond memories of this man whom I considered a close childhood friend.

Dr. Krell was a true inspiration to me. He took me under his wing when I started my Army career as a young Behavioral Health Science Specialist at Fort Eustis, Virginia. I loved having him as a mentor and teacher. I still laugh when I remember some of the cute tricks he taught his little dachshund using behavior modification techniques. Additionally I had the privelege of babysitting for him and Bonnie after their first child was born. Their love for each other and the life they were building together was unmistakable. Dr. Krell was a special person in so many ways. I am grateful for the impact he had on my life. I often think of him as I continue to work as a Social Worker at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Sherry Whitaker

I just learned of Mark's passing through Shades Valley High School's 50th reunion 2012. I lost contact with Mark, but wanted to tell you he was a good friend of mine in high school. He was best friend to my boyfriend and we did a lot together. His father Leo taught me to waterski at Guntersville. He's been gone for 6 years now, but I still wanted to tell you I remember him well.
Sincerely,

Just now discovered Mark died. Mark, you were supposed to outlive me. I frequently recount the great times we had together at Schilling Manor. Your obit didn't mention fencing. I know I was a hopeless case at that sport but maybe you can meet me at the Pearly Gates some day and teach me again.

Dr. Krell,
The last time I wrote an entry was on Aug.5th, 2005.
Today is Sept. 1st, 2010.
Has it really been that long?
Today Alex Wroblewski started his Senior Year.
I still can't believe it!
If it wasn't for YOU I don't know if
he would have made it this far.
There are hardly any days that go by that I don't think of you and all the things you taught me and my boys.
We all miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you again and again and thank you Mrs.Krell for sharing his warmth and kindness to all who knew him.
We will talk again soon I'm sure but until then know that we all love you!
Rebecca, Alex and Jacob

Dr. Krell. I miss you so much. I still expect to see you somewhere & for you to go "surprise", and this would all be one of your practical jokes. I love you, I miss you, & I wish I had you to talk to right now. I know that God has a reason for everything & I am working on that. I wish I knew what else to say. I think of you always.
Your Friend,

Dear John, Bonnie, and Jill,
I know the holidays had to be a difficult time for you, but it's a new year with all the hope and promise that implies. I think of Mark too often - he would be disppointed that I haven't moved farther along using the tools he so wisely and lovingly provided. I think I loved him almost as much as you did. I will always miss him. I hope the new year brings you and your families good health and much happiness. Take care and be well.
Your friend,
Neal

Dr. Howell, I am truly saddened to learn just today of the passing of your husband. After reading through what others have written, I see he was an amazing, inspiring and caring man...in his profession as well as at home with family and friends. Please know your family is in my family's thoughts during this time.

Thank you for the help, encouragement and support you provided since the transition of my mother. I just never thought I would have to use the same advice with you...and so soon. I miss you. Please watch over all of us. We all miss you. When I see the stars twinkle at night, I know it is you winking.
Please give my mother a hug. I have her to thank that I met you. What a wonderful person you were. Thank you for taking care of me.

Dear Krell Family,
As I was enforming my Friend Jill and long time employ of Dr, Krell's of the loss of my Mother she had enfomed me of his death as well. Im just a couple days into my grief and understand what his loss must mean to all of you. I was his patient and he was a fine man who had a wonderful work ethic. I was in all the time talking to Jill and he was just so kind to me and sometimes bought us lunch.
May he rest in peace.

We are saddened by the sudden passing of Dr. Krell. Many of my staff who attended MSASS at Case Western knew Dr. Krell as a caring and creative teacher. He was a creative and compassionate patient advocate and instructor in his role with our residency program at Akron General Medical Center. We wish to convey our deepest sympathy to Dr. Krell's family.

My condolences and prayers go out to the Krell Family for their sudden loss. I am a better person for having known Mark. He taught me numerous tools that have lead to a fufilling and rewarding life. Mark, my friend, you were a great man whose time on this earth ended prematurely... I MISS YOU.

Our deepest sympathies to Mark's family. Mark was a wonderful doctor and one of the most compassionate, caring people we ever had the privilege to know. He helped us through so many things and we will miss him always. He left us too soon, but his wisdom and guidance will stay with us always.

I was privileged to receive my emotional PHD from Mark Krell. He had such a special way of looking at things and helping others see clearly. The world is a more compassionate place, beginning with me, because of his talents. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family for their loss.

What a great loss! Mark, you were a wonderful boss, mentor and most of all, friend. You always treated me more like a daughter, than an employee. I grew up over the past 10 years with you by my side helping me mature into an independent young lady, then a strong married woman and now mother to my 17 mth. old son ("the critter", as you called him ). I will truly miss you, as I know many will. You'll never be forgotten for all that you have given to others. What a wonderful example you were to so many, knowing first-hand what a gifted psychologist you were and the many people you've touched. Your legacy, a.k.a "Krellisms", will live on with each and every one of us. May peace be with you forever and with your family during this time of loss.
Your Faithful Office Manager,

"Today I shall cry for you've gone too soon; tomorrow I shall smile in remembrance of you.."
I owe many of my great HS memories to the Krell clan. And although it's been years since I've seen any of you, I am truly saddened to hear of this news. Mark always treated me as if I were his own kid... it never mattered that I wasn't. (In fact, there were quite a few of us that fell into that catagory.) His generosity and kindness was bigger than this world and he will forever hold a place in my heart.

To Dr Mark and Family: I will miss you so much. I feel so bad for your family. I know you are with Jesus now because you were such a good and nice person. You were like a father I never had and a brother and a friend. My heart goes out to your family and I hope and pray they have the strength and courage to go on in your name and love. You were such a good nice man and some of the things you taught me; I will never forget. Also thank you with helping me when I decided to go to school and all your encouragement with life in general. The world will miss you! You have helped so many people and are so loved forever! Bless you and your Family! Miss you! Many Thoughts and Prayers! Angela Osborn (Akron, Ohio)

What a wonderful and beautiful man you have been to me and my familly. Your advice, comfort and encouragement will be greatly missed. Your words of wisdom will stay with me througout my life and I am so very very grateful to have met you. I know this applies to the many people you have touched over the years, God had given us all a great gift with you on this earth. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Krell familly who he had spoken of with so much pride and love. Without you he would not have been able to give so much to so many. God bless you all.

Mark Krell was my dear friend. While I share deeply his family's sadness at his untimely loss, I celebrate this amazing man and his extraordinary life. If I might borrow some excerpts from Edward M. Kennedy's eulogy for his brother, Robert F. Kennedy (June 8, 1968): "He gave us strength in time of trouble, wisdom in time of uncertainty, and sharing in time of happiness. He was always by our side....Love is not an easy feeling to put into words. Nor is loyalty, or trust or joy. But he was all of these. He loved life completely and lived it intensely....This is the way he lived. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world." Goodbye my friend, I will miss you.

I just returned from attending the memorial service for Dr. Krell. I was deeply touched by the service and his friends and family members verbal tributes to Dr. Krell's life.
As the administrator of Broadview Multi-Care Center I had the opportunity to see his caring attitude towards the residents of the facility. He was a thoughtful and caring gentleman who had a zest for life and loved being with people. He gave very generously of his time and talents to the orgnization and his patients, our residents.
Though I did not get to know Dr. Krell on a personal level, I know he approached life with passion, loved his family, appreciated his friends. This was validated by each person speaking at the memorial service.
I am so sorry and sadden by the loss of this spirited, quick-witted person.
I pray that your memories will continue to provide you comfort during your times of sorrow.

Dr. Krell
Thank you so much for the wonderful human spirit you were. You are going to be sadly missed. My children and I respected and appreciated your kindness and compassion more than you ever knew. It was just awesome the way you loved your family and the way you loved others and life in general. You could lift a dark cloud with one of your silly but very "appropriate" Krellisms. You made my life bearable and more meaningful and helped so many of my friends. You were the father I would have loved to have had.
Although you are in a better place now, you left much too soon.
My deepest sympathy to Bonnie and your family. They are very lucky to have had such a wonderful man in their lives.
Thank you so much for everything.

Mark was such a wonderful friend. In bad times he was their to pick me up and show me the way I needed to go and he cheered for me when I did well. And yes, he even chewed me out a few times..........and yes, he was right! (He made a point of reminding me of that). Mark was like a Dad, a good girl friend and Santa all rolled into one. He gave me gifts I only hope I can share with others. I feel fortunate to have been blessed by his kindness in my life. We will all miss him so much.

I will never forget the lunch interview I had with Mark when I first moved to Akron and was looking for a job. I stopped by his office and he was in the process of looking for his shoes so we could leave. I thought then, "Wow, this guy is really laid back!" And I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mark and seeing his wisdom and sense of humor first hand. I still laugh about that first meeting and will miss him a lot. He was everything a therapist should be! I know his family will miss him and to all of them, I am so sorry.

Hey Llerk. You know that I don't like to journal or write things down, but here I am doing it and your getting the last laugh. That is so like you! I am going to miss you so much. You are the only counselor I have ever seen that has ever made any sense. You knew what you were doing and you were always so down to earth. I thank you for that. I'm not sure what I am going to do without your jokes, your orneriness, and of course, your unfailing logic. But, I do thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me.
I am sitting here thinking about this tragic thing that has happened and all I want to do is call and let you help me through it. And, I know in my heart that you would have unselfishly taken the time to do so.
For Dr. Krell's family. My heart and prayers go out to you. Dr. Krell was a wonderful man and will always be missed. Thank you for sharing him with us.

My sympathies to the family for your loss, a good man has gone too soon. I will miss him, as I’m sure many, many others will also. I was a patient, off and on, for more than ten years. Our sessions became more like old friends getting together, rather than a doctor/patient relationship. I never told him this, but sitting across from him, he perched in his chair, I could not help but think of him as “Old Buddha-Santa Klaus”. (The physical resemblance was there for both.) He had this aura of serene wisdom about him, and a bag full of gifts; like his sayings or “Krellisms”. I use them still, and will probably always use them. He gave me the tools to live a better life. I will never forget, and will always be grateful for having known him. He was a good Man, a good Doctor, and a good Friend, who, I’m sure, touched so many lives. The world is a better place because of him having walked through it. God bless and be with you all, always.

To Dr. Krells family,
The world will never be the same. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He is a wonderful doc. I am a patient from 10yrs ago and I still use the things in life he taught me like "It is none of your business what other people think about you". He guided me and encouraged me through nursing school. Thank you DR. Krell.

Dr. Krell helped me and my children through some really tough times.
I don't know where we would be right now if it wasn't for him.
Many times he was the bright light at the end of the tunnel for us.
He taught us how to cope and move on
and for that I will be forever grateful.
My sons and I will miss him so much.
What he has taught us will stay with us forever.
