Wednesday, May 25, 2022, Frederic (Ric) Krahl, loving husband, and devoted father of two, passed away at the age of 71. Ric was the only child of Fredrick and Mary Elizabeth Krahl. He grew up in Simsbury on Firetown Rd and graduated from Simsbury high in 1969. He married his wife, Dee Ann Scarborough and moved to Granby. While in Granby he had a daughter Elizabeth and son Jonathan. Ric and family later moved back to Simsbury and lived out the remainder of his life on Fox Den Rd. He leaves behind his wife Dee Ann of 47 years, his daughter Elizabeth with her twin girls Eleanor and Mairin along with his son Jonathan.

Ric always had a passion for fast cars and drag racing. His love for the sport allowed Ric to touch many people's lives and make long lasting friends. When Ric wasn’t at the racetrack, he was on a boat fishing with his children or working on their home.

Ric was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit. Ric loved life and lived each day to the fullest. Whether he was at the racetrack, fishing, or spending time with those he loved, he brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. Ric left a piece of him with all of us!

Ric left us knowing that he could walk into a room and put a smile on everyone’s face, a life well lived indeed! Ric will be missed but never forgotten.

Visitation will be held at the Vincent Funeral Home, 880 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury on Saturday June 4th from 9am-12 followed by a Celebration of Ric’s wonderful life at The Maple Tree Café, 781 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, from 12:30 - 3:30.
