William Kroening of New Port Richey, passed from this life August 11. His wife of 69 years, his children, and son-in-laws were at his bedside. He was 88 years old. Bill is survived by his wife, Esther and his children: Cheryl and Steve Bosky of Illinois and Clearwater; Bill and Darlene Kroening of Winter Haven; Linda & Joe Pullicino of Hudson; Diane Granado of New Port Richey; Gary Kroening and Penny Tan of Holiday; and Kevin Kroening of New Port Richey. He also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
Bill was a kind and caring man who touched so many lives but asked nothing in return. Anyone who knew him, liked him. He was devoted to his wife and family, worshipped his God faithfully, and served his country during World War II. During his lifetime, he served as scoutmaster when each of his sons were Boy Scouts, supervised Luther League for teens at churches in Chicago, Mundelein IL, and New Port Richey. Most recently he worked at the food pantry at King of Kings Lutheran church. After retiring, he and his wife Esther traveled extensively around this country in the motor home they loved. Bill Kroening will be truly missed.
Arrangements under the direction of North/Meadowlawn Funeral Home & Cemetery, New Port Richey, FL.
