Richard A. Krol, 86, of Medford, NJ passed away peacefully on Monday, November 8th.  He was born in Trenton, NJ to the late John and Helen Tykarski Krol.  Richard was the loving companion of Virginia Phillips.  He is predeceased by one sister, Eleanor Krol Kazior, and five brothers - John, Edward, Jerome, Victor and Alfred.  He has one surviving sister, Helen Krol Birkhead; a daughter, Theresa Krol Johnson (Eric); three grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.  

Richard was a graduate of Trenton Catholic HS and Rider College.  Through his childhood, high school and college careers, and throughout his whole life, sports was his favorite thing in life.  He remembered all of the basketball, football and baseball games that he ever played in.  He was also an avid golfer and played on courses all over the United States.  His favorite place to play was in Palm City, FL.  

He was a proud veteran of the United States Army, serving at White Sands Missile Range in Alamagordo, NM, and he played for the Army basketball team that traveled around the county.  He worked in the banking industry and was a bank examiner in New Mexico.  Most recently, prior to retiring, he worked at Roma Savings and Loan and Investors Bank in NJ.  All who knew him and loved him will remember his love for his church, his infectious smile, enthusiastic laugh, genuine enjoyment of sports, his never-ending energy and love of life!
