Eugene R. Krymkowski

Eugene R. Krymkowski, born May 2, 1931, died May 16, 2023.

Eugene was a very intelligent and creative person. A 1952 graduate of Marquette University, College of Journalism, he really enjoyed spending the early part of his career as a Sportswriter. He was Sports Editor of a newspaper in Mattoon, Illinois and then a feature writer for the Wilson Sporting Goods Company.

He spent the last thirty years of his working career doing public relations work, chiefly for Industrial clients. Eugene was well respected in this creative work.

Sports, fishing and opera were lifelong interests. But his pride and love for his family and his Catholic Faith defined Eugene. He was a man who found it difficult to verbalize his love but always expressed love with loyalty and by doing the best he could to fulfill the needs and wishes of his family.

Eugene is survived by his wife of 61 years, Ruth Ann (nee: Shannon) Krymkowski, five children, Mark, Thomas, Amy, Peter and Jill Krymkowski and his beloved grandson, Peyton Krymkowski. He also is missed by his furry friend, kitty Skittles.

Eugene will be remembered with love on Sunday, June 4, 2023, at Bethel-Bethany Church (2878 N. 54th Street, Milwaukee, WI). Visitation will be held at 2:00 PM until the Memorial Service at 3:00 PM.
