Joseph Patrick Krall Jr.'s Obituary
Joseph Patrick Krall Jr., age 69, of North Ridgeville, passed away on Thursday, May 4, 2017, at his home after a lengthy illness.
He was born on November 29, 1947 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania and has been a resident of North Ridgeville for the past 6 years, moving from Elyria and Avon Lake. He worked as a production manager for Lorain Printing, retiring in 2000 after 37 years of service, and was a member of numerous professional organizations.
Joe really enjoyed his retirement and the free time that came along with it. He would fill that time reading and working on puzzles, of both the jigsaw and crossword variety. The summer months would find him on the golf course, or on his boat, fishing with his wife Bonnie. He was also an avid Cleveland sports fan.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Bonnie (nee Weiss); sons Todd (Shannon) Krall of Westlake and Jeffrey Krall of Sheffield Lake; grandchildren Timothy, Bryan, Nicholas and Rowan; brothers Paul Krall of AZ, Tom (Barb) Krall of FL; sisters Mary (Walt) Krekel of Westlake, Gina (Ken) Kohl of FL and Teresa (Keith) Brown of N.C.; many nieces and nephews.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents Joseph P. Sr. and Regina (nee Thomas) Krall; brother Kevin Krall.
Memorial Service will be on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. in the Bogner Family Funeral Home, 36625 Center Ridge Rd., N. Ridgeville, where family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. until time of service. Rev. Andrew Hoover will officiate. Interment will be private.
