Obituary
Floyd Kromm, age 93, of Oshkosh passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
He was born on February 10, 1931, in Oshkosh, a son of the late Henry and Josephine (Verkuilen) Kromm, Sr. He married Rose M. Langlitz on June 29, 1957, at Zion Lutheran Church and they enjoyed 67 years of marriage together.
In 1950, Floyd enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served during the Korean War conflict until 1954. He enjoyed sharing stories of his time in the Navy and his days overseas. He found great pride in serving his country.
Floyd retired in 1996 from International Paper (formerly Pluswood Industries) in Oshkosh after 40 years of service. In retirement, he thoroughly enjoyed working for the City of Oshkosh as a crossing guard at Roosevelt School, and often shared stories of the children he would meet and interact with every day. Floyd enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, spending time with family, watching the Green Bay Packers, going to rummage sales, dining out at Two Brothers and Mikes Place, doing word search puzzles, enjoying a good cigar and an occasional old-fashioned.
He is survived by his loving wife, Rose Kromm; children, Debbie (Tod) Schmick and Bob (Lauren) Kromm; sister, Gloria Jean (Leon) Klatt; grandchildren, Brandon (Kati), Matthew, Erin, Christy and Becky; along with seven great-grandchildren. In addition, he is survived by his brothers-in-law, Ron (special friend Joy) Knoblauch and Don (Dorell) Knoblauch, sisters-in-law, Barb (Mark) Hannan and Shirley Zumstein; as well as nieces and nephews.
Along with his parents, and stepmother, Bessie Kromm, Floyd was preceded in death by his brother, Henry Kromm Jr., sister, Wilma Wilson; sister-in-law, Lois Kromm; brother-in-law, Eugene Wilson; infant brother, Richard Kromm; and niece, Cheryl (Klatt) Pochowski.
Visitation will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at Lake View Memorial Chapel, 2786 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh, WI, until the time of service at 12:00 pm with Rev. Jeffrey Knoll officiating.
The family wishes to thank Park View Health Center for the wonderful care and compassion that was extended to him during these past few months.
Dad, we will see you again, but until then, "no wooden nickels".
