Ron Krajewski's Obituary
Ron Krajewski, 61, passed away on Saturday, February 16, 2008 at his home in Rehoboth Beach.
Ron worked in the Optical Industry for over 40 years. Beginning with Edwin Kuhwald and Company in Wilmington. After about 15 years of service, the Lord led him to Sussex County where he began Eastern Shore Optical Company, eventually having locations in both Rehoboth and Seaford. Ron was recognized for his excellent work in both eyeglasses and contact lenses. Keeping up with the latest in technology, he held the highest of credentials - the Honored Fellow status - was invited to teach in many states, and was frequently contacted to assist with difficult to fit patients. For many years, he also provided services to the duPont Company in Seaford for safety glasses for many people in Sussex County.
Some may remember Ron for his radio program Here's Looking at You on WGMD with Dan Gaffney every Wednesday morning. They would discuss the latest in optics and community events, always sharing his 'Joke of the Day' or an encouraging verse.
Ron felt very blessed to live in such a wonderful area, and always tried to give back to his community. He was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Rehoboth Beach for many years, serving as Chairman of the Youth Services Committee; was past-president of Parish Council for St. Edmond's Catholic Church in Rehoboth; was appointed by then Governor Castle to serve on the Board of Social Worker Examiners for the State of Delaware; a Boy Scout Leader for Troop 85 of Rehoboth, and attended the School of Leadership and Ministry at Eagles Nest Fellowship Church in Milton.
Ron loved fellowship with family and friends, telling silly jokes, and playing the occasional polka on the accordion.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 37 years, Kathy, of Rehoboth Beach; son Ron Jr. and his wife Kate Krajewski of Lewes; daughter Grace and her husband Albert Cosenza of Royersford, PA; grandchildren Sarah and Beth Krajewski of Lewes. His brother Joseph Krajewski and his wife Edna of Wilmington also survive him.
Funeral services will be held at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, Delaware on Friday Feb. 22, 2008 at 11:00 AM where friends may call after 9 AM. Burial will be private.
Instead of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the Crossroad Community Church Building Fund 18414 Sandhill Road Georgetown, DE 19947 www.crossroadcommunitychurch.net
