Obituary of Robert James Krumrey

Please share a memory of Robert to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Robert James Krumrey, 95, a lifelong resident of Libertyville and a proud US Air Force veteran, passed away on August 6, 2024, at Advocate Condell Medical Center, the very hospital where he was born. After serving his country during the Korean War, Bob earned his bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Arizona State University and enjoyed a long, successful career in the communications division at Motorola.

In retirement, Bob relished spending winters in Mesa, Arizona, with his beloved wife Sharon. He stayed active by playing golf, cards with friends and was a highly skilled ping-pong player. A former Libertyville High School athlete in the late 1940's, he still closely followed Libertyville High School football and basketball teams. Also a diehard Chicago Cubs fan, Bob followed the team through their highs and lows with unwavering dedication. 
 
One of his favorite family traditions was the annual trip "Up North" to Wisconsin, where relatives spend a week at the lake fishing, swimming, boating and card playing—a tradition begun by his father when he was a child and continued throughout his life with his own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and their extended families, with more than 40 family members making the trek. Bob cherished these fishing trips, always in pursuit of the elusive muskie.

Bob’s legacy is one of love, dedication, and cherished memories, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Sharon; his children Andy, Kathleen (Kenneth) Lewis, and Julie (Kevin) Cook; his step children Kevin (Michelle) Huspen and Kim (Dave Post) Triunfol; his grandchildren Nicholas (Ellen), Danielle (Zach), Kyle, Casey, Brandon (Carrie), Kelly, and Courteney & his step-grandchildren Zach, Christian, Jordan, Kali (Tommy), and Amanda; 7 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Bob is preceded in death by his son Keith and his seven siblings Noel, Albert, Archie, Morrie, Gertrude, Kenny and Ray.

Visitation for Bob will be from 4:00 – 8:00 PM on Wed. Aug 14th at McMurrough Funeral Chapel with a service at 7:30 PM. Interment will be at 11:00 AM on Thurs. Aug 15th at Lakeside Cemetery with Military Honors. In lieu of flowers, memorials made to the Lake County Honor Flight, P.O. Box 1187 North Chicago, IL 60064 would be greatly appreciated.
