Erich John Kronberger is the oldest of five children born to Lotte and Josef Kronberger. At a very young age his family moved from Baud Assee, Austria to South Bend Indiana in the United States. He attended Navarre Elementary and Washington High for his education. As a young man he joined the military. His branch of service was the Army, where he was a dental tech for twenty years until he reached retirement. He was very outgoing and lived meeting new people. Erich was the most unselfish person you would ever meet. He truly had a heart of gold. Always ready to help wherever the need arose without asking for a single thing in return. His hobbies included bicycling, thrift store shopping, collecting and fixing things. May his sacrifices never be forgotten, and his memory live on. Fly high with the angels' big brother until we meet again. Love you always, Ellen, Bob, Steve and Pete.
