✞Richard Krout March 24, 1942 – November 2, 2020 - Richard was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, only son of Vincent and Gladys Krout. He graduated from Susquehanna Township High School. He went on to graduate with a degree in Business Administration from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, where he made several life long friends. Richard spent the majority of his professional career working for Masland Industries of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he achieved the title of Vice President of Procurement and Supplies. Upon retirement at the young age of 53, Richard and his wife Connie relocated to Park City, Utah, where he enjoyed an active outdoor lifestyle, spending his time playing golf, biking, and downhill skiing. Dick and Connie loved adventure, planning ski trips all over the continental US and Canada, enjoying terrain on 3 different continents, to include helicopter skiing in Canada. Dick will be remembered as being exceptionally kind, a big teddy bear. He loved to help people (both known and unknown to him) and host friends and family at his Park City house. His favorite pleasure was not only to guide people to the best untracked ski runs and secret stashes of powder in Utah, but also to spend time with beginner skiers on simpler runs as well. He had limitless determination and patience in teaching everyone, never angry or frustrated. He loved to spend time and weekends with his wife and 2 children on the slopes of Denton Hil in the winter and along the Susquehanna River in the summer. In his older years he also enjoyed teaching his young granddaughters how to fish (and many fishing ties later!). His overall kind demeanor and larger than life presence will be missed. Richard is survived by his wife Constance Marie Krout (Osman), son Richard Eugene Krout II, daughter Wendy Krout Day, daughter-in-law Laura Krout (Buglio), son-in-law Christian Laurence Day, and granddaughters Sydney Lauren Day, Nicole Rebecca Day, and Danielle Victoria Day.
✞Parents: Beatrice Ossman Pelachick, but was raised by her stepfather, Theodore Pelachick. Connie graduated from Pottsville High School. She quickly moved on to independently support herself as a telephone operator until she met her soulmate and husband of fifty-five years, Richard Eugene Krout. They lived in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for a few short years, then built their Pennsylvania dream house in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. There she raised her children and built deep-seated roots, with many lasting friendships and many adventures, spending numerous days playing tennis at Allenberry Resort and Inn. She spent those years as a wonderful wife and homemaker for their two children, packing up for weekends spent skiing at Denton Hill or boating on the Susquehanna River in the summer. After Richard's retirement, they built their western dream house in Park City, Utah, where they spent twenty-five years. There, Connie developed even more deep and lasting friendships, spending her time snow skiing, playing golf, traveling the world or just spending quality time with friends. Anyone who knew her was familiar with Hotel Krout, as she absolutely loved to host and entertain people. She so enjoyed spending time with her three granddaughters when they visited, teaching them to ski and play golf, taking them to rodeos, and, most importantly, grilling the Krout Special Rack of lamb and homemade soup. Anyone who knew Connie loved her. She was a brightly sparkling personality that could start a conversation with anyone, a skill that astounded those around her. She loved to push boundaries, and was never afraid to wear just about anything to a party, no matter what her age. Her adventuresome and winning personality, her emotional strength to keep pushing through no matter how her body challenged her will be legacies that will live on. Connie is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard; and her half-brother, Ted Pelachick. She is survived by her half-brother, Edward Pelachick; her children, Richard Eugene Krout, Jr. and Wendy Krout Day; her daughter-in-law, Laura Krout, her son-in-law, Christian Day; and her granddaughters, Sydney Lauren Day, Nicole Rebecca Day, and Danielle Victoria Day.
