WILLIAM J. KRAUTWALD
______
HON. DONALD NORCROSS
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, April 20, 2021
Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of William ``Billy'' J. Krautwald.
Bill was born in Philadelphia, PA but lived out 30 years of his life in Franklinville, NJ before moving to Ellabell, GA. He then made his home in Richmond Hill, where he settled for the next 4 years.
My union brother, Billy Krautwald, believed, with his heart and soul, the basic principles and core values of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. He was a devoted member of the union who will be dearly missed.
Billy's career with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers spanned almost five decades holding positions ranging from the executive board to president of the union. When Billy decided to retire, he would go on to train the next generation of union activists and become involved in politics to campaign for Habitat for Humanity.
Billy was a devoted father to his two sons, Jeff Krautwald and Billy Krautwald. He was loving husband to Peggy Krautwald of 47 years, and supportive family member and friend to those around him. He is remembered for all the help, guidance, and direction he offered to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, blessing my fellow brothers and sisters with the skills of a master electrician and the heart of a lion to make our union one of the greatest in the country.
Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring the late Mr. William
``Billy'' J. Krautwald of Philadelphia, PA, the ``old guard'' union worker, a leader, a friend, and a celebrated member of the New Jersey community.
