The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, February 25, 2014


Richard L. Cronk (Pops), aged 75, of Ionia passed away February 22, 2014 in 
Grand Rapids.  He was born January 10, 1939, in Ionia, the son of Francis and 
Cleobelle (Morrison) Cronk.  Richard was a lifelong resident of Ionia, though 
he also spent time in California and Honduras.  He attended Welch School, a 
rural K-8 school, and then Ionia High School.  As a young man he served in the 
Marine Corps. He had several businesses in the area throughout his life. 

Pops had a big heart and charming personality.  He was often the life of the 
party, laughing, dancing, and making people smile.  Pops was fond of 
family/friends gatherings at "da property" near Mackinaw City.  His fun-loving 
and adventurous spirit took him to far-away places; the tropical sandy beaches 
of Trujillo, Honduras among his favorites. 

He is survived by his children Kelly Cronk of Ionia, Kammi Johannsen of 
Virginia, Kevin Cronk of Petoskey, Kip (Carrie) Cronk of Bay City, Ada (Edward) 
Pickell of Ypsilanti and Jhon Gil of Ionia, brothers Francis (Judy) Cronk Jr. 
of Mackinac City and Robert (Bonnie) Cronk of Clarksville and sisters Beverly 
(Richard) Hodgkins and Wanda Marcussen of Ionia.  Also surviving are thirteen 
grandchildren and ten great grandchildren and his dear friend Sara Gil. 
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, two daughters, Kacee and Heather, 
brothers Glenn and John, and brother in-law Jerry Marcussen. 

Funeral Services will be held at the Lake Funeral Home in Ionia, Tuesday, 
February 25, 2014 at 2 p.m.  Visitation will be on Tuesday from 11 a.m. until 
the time of services.  In lieu of flowers Richard's family would prefer 
memorial contributions towards his grandchildren (Kierra and Shiah) college 
funds.
