It is an honor to count Ed as a family member. His talents were many; his kindness unending - a true good and gentle man. I'm remembering the laughter, the good times during this time of such deep sorrow.

To the Krizek Family,
I began going to Dr. Krizek in about 1970. Over the years, my family starting going to see him too, and we recommended him to our friends. He was such a kind soul. He made a "visit to the dentist" seem easier. And he always made us laugh. He always had time to talk and really cared about his patients. He was a wonderful person. My family and I will keep you in our thoughts.

Dear Krizek family,
Although we only had the pleasure of meeting Ed a few times it is easy to see why his son and family are so wonderful to have as neighbors. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Mike and Kathy Mannino

Dear Krizeks:
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved husband & father. His many kindnesses will always be remembered. I will always remember his joy in sharing with me his love of decoy carving & collecting, his Porsches, his dogs, and Jazz. His patience and sincerity were touching. I still have the decoy he gave me many years ago and have it prominently displayed in my family room. I am honored to have known him and been a small part of his life.

Georgine, Carolyn, Chris & Tom:
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Dr. Krizek will be missed by all who knew him. His generous spirit, kind heart and sense of humor touched many people over the years. I have missed working along side him since his retirement. I will always treasure our time together. He was able to put a smile on the many faces he came in contact with, both by his gentle nature and his expertise in the dental field! He was truly a wonderful man. I will never forget him.
