    In behalf of Gerold and Sonia Raphael of Trinidad and Tobago we extend peace and love to the family during this time.

  11. To my beloved friends and family..Mr Krapels will always be one dynamic motivator in many lives…mine included.
    His calming,warm sense…mixed with a wit of humor few possess…tributes I’ve always admired and sought to emulate in my life.
    I wish I could throw my arms around all of you right now. 600 miles away and a pandemic kind of get in the way.
    Please know your loss is not suffered alone. Knowing him as I think Kev Jeff and Jill would agree he’d find a quick joke to fill in the blank. Without him there is only the blank.
    Love you Mrs Krapels . Sonny and Mary are giving him a tour around the pearly gates about now.

    I just saw this and offer my condolences to your family . My husband Jim and I had great fun in the Mr. and Mrs . club and your Dad and Mom always had a smile from their pew in church when I walked by in the choir to receive Communion . It seems like yesterday that I met Fred in Stop and Shop . What a fine man who leaves a great family legacy . Please give my condolences to Mildred .
