Lennis Earl Krogman, age 81, of Fairview Park, Ohio, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and quiet strength.
Lennis was the beloved husband of Cheryl Ann Krogman, with whom he shared a lifetime of companionship and devotion. He was a caring and proud father to Russell and Scott, and a cherished grandfather to Madeline, Cara, and James, who brought him immense joy and pride.
He is also survived by his brother, Bruce Krogman, along with extended family members and friends who will remember him fondly.
Lennis built a remarkable career as a realtor spanning 55 years, earning the trust and respect of countless clients and colleagues through his integrity, hard work, and commitment to helping others find a place to call home.
Outside of his professional life, Lennis found his greatest happiness in the simple pleasures—fishing on quiet mornings, camping under the open sky, and enjoying a good book. He appreciated the outdoors and valued time spent with family above all else.
Lennis will be remembered for his steady presence, kind heart, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. His memory will live on in the lives he touched and the family he cherished so deeply.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
Farewell Mr. Krogman. Thank you for being kind and inviting us crazy kids into your home in the 80s and 90s.
Krogman family, remembering Earl from Lakewood Ranger football days. Great supporters of Russell and Scott and Ranger football! May you rest in peace! “Coach” Joe and Bonnie Kunzelman
I never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Krogman but I can without a doubt speak of his character because of the man his son Scott has become. Scott is my neighbor on CI and has become a super friend. He is a “shirt off his back kind of guy” and I am quite sure the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. RIP sir!
To the Krogman Family: Earl has been a longtime friend. My first contact with Earl was when I was a Boy Scout in Troop 115 at Lakewood Presbyterian Church. Earl took me on my first Skipe hunt. He gave me a brown bag, placed me in the woods and instructed me on the noise that I should make to catch the Skipe. I can only imagine the laughter that he had when I learned that Skipes are only in Texas. In spite of it all, Earl and I remained good friends for almost 70 years. He will be greatly missed by many of us. I give my deepest condolences to Cheryl, Russell, Scott and all the family.
Dear Cheryl, Russell and Scotty…sending love and prayers to you all and to your families from your cousins in Canada. “Uncle Earl” as he will always be remembered, was a very sweet and kind soul. I will never forget your visits in the summer, his purchasing me a copy of Little Women to read, nor our last visit when I was in Ohio four years ago. With love Kate (Kathy)
Sending condolences to all. He will be truly missed. He was a wonderful kind and loving man that brought light and laughter anywhere he went.
