Bob and family I just wanna say that I’m very sorry for your loss and your dad was a wonderful man as you know. I always enjoyed visiting with him at the garage when I was a snap on dealer. And various times when I was over at the house. I will not be able to make the service as I am up north in Pound. My prayers are with you all and your mom as well.
Sharon McAuliffe says

So sad to hear Bob or as I called him “Old Man” has passed away. 😢I cut his hair at The Hair Connection and back when I worked at Bevs Beauty Nook since the 1970s! We always had a fun time bantering back and forth,which he loved to do! Will miss him, but pray he is without pain now and in a better place! My deepest sympathy to Rosemary and his family.

I’ve known Bob & Rosie my entire life of almost 57 years. My Dad was in their wedding in 1963 and my Mom was pregnant with me at the time. My parents and Bob & Rosie were such good friends for many years and we spent a lot of time with them, as I remember it, they were family.
I have great memories of hanging out with the Krencisz family. I have a picture of me in spring of 1964 about 6-7 months old sitting on Bob’s Triumph motorcyle (my Mom holding me up so I don’t fall off). I forwarded that picture to Bob when I found out he was sick and I truly believe that he loved seeing it, he definitely remembered it. Bob was Godfather to one of my brothers and my dad was Godfather to Bob, Jr.
I remember our get togethers (Alot of them) and even the swimming parties at their house… Not to be out of line but I want to share this, Bob & Rosie had a sign by their pool that read “I don’t swim in your toilet, don’t pee in my pool”. The funny thing about that for me was, that I always remembered it, so when my ex-husband and I got a big pool, that was my #1 rule and I also put up a sign saying the same thing.
As a young kid I remember a camping trip up to Spooner and we got to hang out with Bob’s family and I remember just having a such great time, he had a really great family. I even remember growing up having some of his siblings as neighbors.
When my Dad passed away in 2007 the next day after his memorial service Bob, one of my brothers & I got together and had our own private memorial for my Dad, it was one of those memories that I will never forget And So greatful that I had.
I could literally go on but I won’t. Plain and simple Bob Krencisz was an awesome Man in Alot of different ways and I will Always remember his kindness and I will always have the greatest respect him. He was like another uncle to me.
Rest in peace Bob!
Love, thoughts & prayers to Rosie & family.
Diane (Malik) & Bruce Polachek and family

My deepest sympathies to the Krencisz family.
Web & Sue Temple says
We will sadly miss Bob Sr. Spent many hours working with him and the entire Krencisz family on soap box derby projects. Bob was instrumental in keeping Racine Area Soap Box Derby alive. He made our lives better for knowing him.
