Gregory Karl Krapf, 65, of Kalamazoo died on Monday, February 24, 2020 at Rose Arbor Hospice in the presence of his loving family. He is the son of William and Mary (Roe) Krapf. He graduated from Comstock High School and served proudly in the U.S. Army with a favorite posting in Germany. He worked for many years at the Disability Network of Southwest Michigan as the “Head Maintenance Engineer”.
Greg showed an aptitude at an early age for tools. Wood working occupied many pleasurable hours. Besides furniture, he crafted crates of various sizes for many of his friends and family. He enjoyed guiding a niece and nephew in making their own storage crates. He also loved tinkering with cars, doing body work as well as mechanical repairs. Greg especially enjoyed helping other people. He drove those who needed rides to appointments and markets in his venerable pickup truck and helped friends move, some several times. He was very fond of animals and always carried treats in his pocket for his neighbors’ dogs. He loved feeding birds as well and took great joy in visiting the “critters” at the zoo.
Greg is survived by a son, Jason, a sister, Lynn, brother, Rod (Nancy), niece, Meghan Bonnie (Rob Kresmery) and Sarah Humud (Juan Carlos), a nephew, Nathan (Maire Daly), two great-nephews, and several cousins. His gentle jokes, kindness and affability, even in the wake of many adversities, will be missed by his family and friends.
