Earl Leslie Krugel

This Blog is dedicated to Earl with love and respect.

November 24, 1942 – November 4, 2005

(Of Blessed Memory)

He sacrificed his life so that the Jewish People may survive.

Earl became aware of violent anti-Semitic activity in California, and he responded.

I want to emphasize that the actions Earl and Irv Rubin contemplated involved no physical harm to any person.

Earl didn't ask for recognition, he did what he thought was moral, according to what he truly believed.

Earl was learned in the Torah and the U.S. Navy, where he served honorably.

I knew Earl Krugel, and loved him.

He was a kind, gentle, man.

Earl was a Grandfather, and he displayed the qualities we associate with the best model of what we want our Grandfather to embody.

We lost a great man with his passing.

Earl and I originally worked on this Blog together, by way of the U.S. Mail.

I would write an article and Earl would re-write and add substance and correct errors that I made.

Since his passing I have kept the blog current in his memory and the memory of his leader, Irv Rubin.

All of the articles are written by or selected by me, and nothing in here should be construed as the view of Earl Krugel or anyone else.

May the memory of Irv Rubin and Earl Krugel be a Blessing
