He passed away last week and was going to be buried without mass or military honors. That's when the DeJohn Funeral Home stepped in. John Krebel had prearranged funerals for him and his sisters through DeJohn. He and his sisters lived together and had never married or had kids. So when his sisters died, he had no living family members left.
