James O'Dell Krezinski

Dec 31, 1943 – Jul 8, 2018

Service Details

A private service was held

Racine – James O’Dell Krezinski, 74, passed away at Ascension All Saints on Sunday, July 8, 2018.

A lifelong resident of Racine, he was born on December 31, 1943 and graduated from Washington Park High School.

Throughout his custodial career his talents were exercised at various Racine businesses including: Greene Manufacturing, Sunny’s Restaurant and SC Johnson Wax.

Jim enjoyed his early years with his Uncle Donald who taught him photography and cryptography. He also enjoyed riding his bike. He could always be seen riding around town.  He even rode his bike across the country.  His greatest passion was reading the Bible and sharing his belief in God with others.

Jim never felt he met a stranger.   He taught us to look beyond our differences to find a way to accept people as they are.

Jim is survived by his siblings, Judith Krezinski of New Jersey, June (Robert) Shore of Big Flats, Mary Mac Rae of Kenosha, John (Sue) Krezinski of Tennessee, Kathleen Baker, Elizabeth Dahlstrom and Ray Dahlstrom all of Racine; as well as many nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Blanche and John Krezinski; his stepfather, John Dahlstrom; his brother, Phillip Dahlstrom; his brothers-in-law, Jack Baker and James Mac Rae and nieces, Deborah, Sara and Vikki.

A private service was held at Graceland Cemetery.

Testimonials

Words cannot even begin to express the tremendous gratitude our family has for a team like the one at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home & Crematory. Thank you for the gentle lovely care over our mother Delia (Rosa) Balderas. Never having had a direct experience with a funeral home to this extent we didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t have a clue that they would step right in and have the most comforting team surrounding us that thought of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING for anyone in our position. It was very evident from the first discussion on the phone that they were already well prepared to handle every little detail for us that we weren’t even aware would be required. Mark and his team truly eased so much of the unknown worries right out of our path, and left room for us to just focus on the small personal details we wanted for our mom. It was nice to know that all cost involved was in black and white on their site as well as on paper at our first meeting. Leaving no room for question or doubt what so ever with any fee involved. It was truly a blessing to have everything written out so well and simplified with various price range options in a time that we needed crystal clear direction. Its been beautiful to see that their care and service didn’t stop after our mom’s service came to an end. They continue to be in communication with immediate responses as questions arise along the way. God bless Mark, and the entire compassionate team, to be around to guide many many more for generations to come through life’s most difficult times. You are all truly amazing.
