JUNE 8 FOR ART KRUMMEL MEMORIAL SERVICE

Art Krummel memorial service June 8

The memorial service for former BJ chief arist Art Krummel will be 11 a.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 N. Canton Road, Akron.

Art’s widow after 53 years of marriage and 35 years at the BJ together, former BJ reporter Charlene Nevada, posted:

“It has taken this long to schedule because Art wanted his former artist colleague, Terence Oliver, to preside. Terence is not, in AP style, a "The Rev.", but his faith and spirituality exceed many with that title. Juggling Terence's schedule with that of four active grandkids . . . well June 8 was our best choice.

 

“I don't know how many people not from this area plan to attend. But apparently many hotels are booked the night of June 7. It turns out to be Founders Day in Akron, when thousands of AA members come to town to honor Dr. Bob.

 

“Finally, people have asked where to send donations. They are not needed but if you choose, send them in Art's name to the Cuyahoga Valley Arts Center, 2131 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221. It is a center for classes and amateur shows. Art taught Manga there once and had several pieces in shows. His bonsai club also met there and it was a place he cared about.”
