Robin:
I sure enjoyed square dancing with you and Art at our club. I know Art did a lot of good deeds and charitable work for your church. All we can ask is that good memories exist and last. Milton
Let me know about the memorial service.
Robin,
Art would come to St. Simon School to help John H. I really did believe John when he said he and Art were brothers!!
I knew when Art was in the building when I heard his boisterous laugh from my classroom…. I know God will enjoy his laugh as much as I did❤️
He will be missed. A great example of a good man.
Robin,
Art was a TRUE gentleman. I have the pleasure of knowing you both through the Knights of Columbus. He was gracious and giving. He was respected by all who knew him and always made a new member feel welcome. Art’s laugh made everyone relax. He, along with that GREAT laugh will be missed. I bet that St. Peter is laughing along with Art as I write this.
I will definitely miss Art’s laugh, his generosity and good spirit. May he Rest In Peace! My deepest sympathy to the Kraatz family.
Robin,
So sorry to hear about Art. He was always such a joy to he around. Art always knew my name and I will never forget him. God bless you and your family. Love, Val Keppler
On behalf of the kids in the neighborhood, now adults, we wish to express our sincere condolences to our good friend Arthur J. and the entire Kraatz family.
Respectfully,
Joe L., Kevin C., Mark V., Ed A., Greg B., Don H., Gavin B., Vince K. and Bob B.
