This memorial website was created in memory of our father, Bob Kraning, born on April 7, 1933 and graduated to Glory on April 5, 2020 - 86 on earth, 87 in heaven.
For many Dad was a wonderful story teller. For others he was a pastor and a leader. Through 50 plus years of ministry - youth found Christ, marriages were strengthened, families grew closer, and churches were healed and restored after being broken and scattered. He was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and a genuinely good man... and he was our Dad. Dad to his 2 boys Kent and Kevin, dad to his daughters-in-love, Robin and Shelley, Grandpa to 9 and Great-grandpa to 9 more. He loved us all unconditionally and prayed for us by name every day. But above all else, he loved our mom with all his heart. He was her only love, a faithful friend and her life partner for over 60 years.
We KNOW he is in heaven with Jesus whom he unashamedly proclaimed and loved, but we still dearly and deeply miss him.
We know who he was to us, but we would love to know what he meant to you. Please use the section below or the "stories" tab above to share your thoughts and memories and upload photos if you wish. Thanks in advance for your many prayers and the encouragement to our family through your words.
