Our center is not the same without Mr. Krutel. I appreciate the time I knew you and worked with you. He was always eager to assist both staff and students. I appreciate your contributions with obtaining new curriculum, granting permission for class field trips and all the support in general. Your legacy will live on in the success of the students' lives you touched! I am sad for your family especially the hole in the household of your wife and son. I'm praying they find the strength to continue on and grateful they have great memories that will last a lifetime.
