Bruno Krajewski

Bruno Krajewski, 83, of Crystal Falls, passed away on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 at Aspirus Iron River Hospital. Bruno was born on September 27, 1935 in Crystal Falls, son of the late Anthony and Mary (Lach) Krajewski. He graduated from Alpha High School in 1954. Bruno married his high school sweetheart Arlene Gollakner on October 19, 1957 in Florence, WI. Barely out of high school in 1956, Bruno conceived of and began his business, Bruno's Service Station in Crystal Falls, which continues to be a successful Crystal Falls fixture to this day. Bruno knew the value of hard work. He never considered retirement and instead spent a good deal of time at the Service Station helping in the garage and entertaining customers with his stories. He was a gifted storyteller and loved making people laugh. Bruno also spent a great deal of time gardening. His garden was one of his biggest prides. Every spring his kitchen window was stacked with wooden boxes of seedlings, and come harvest time, he loved giving away his produce to friends and family as much as he loved eating it himself. Bruno also enjoyed hunting and spending time at his camp with friends and family. He was a talented artist and created many paintings and drawings over the course of his life. In addition to his parents, Bruno is preceded in death by three sisters, Rose, Gertrude, and Genevieve, and five brothers, Alec, Walter, Leonard, Robert, and John. He is survived by his wife of sixty-one years, Arlene; his four children, Alyson Emmers of Crystal Falls, Darin (Kris) Krajewski of White Lake, MI, Keane Krajewski of Crystal Falls and Tracy (Steve Lewis) Warning of Escanaba; his sister, Rosemarie Styn of Crystal Falls; his twelve grandchildren, Nathaniel (Teresa) Kudwa, Elijah (Krystal) Kudwa, Taylor (Jens) Kaus, Emme Emmers, Keall Emmers, Ethan Krajewski, McKenna Krajewski, Tessa Krajewski, Khloey Krajewski, Kameron Krajewski, Lexis Warning, and Isis Warning; and his seven great-grandchildren, Lauren, Talon, Eila, Eiven, Eileen, Kiera and Jackson. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Bruno’s family gratefully acknowledges the compassion and dedication of the staff members on the Birch Lane wing at the Iron County Medical Care Facility. In addition, his family would like to thank the staff of Aspirus Iron River Hospital ICU for their attentive and compassionate care.
