Dear Jozef,
Your strength and courage and compassion has given countless patients and their families, and the physicians who serve them, great comfort and healing over many decades. Your stand for the right of patients and their physicians to choose treatments which bring relief, comfort and healing remains a shining beacon throughout Canada and North America. You and Elizabeth sustained immense injustice and through all persisted in what you knew was right and beneficial to patients and the healing profession. We all remain indebted to your diligent and robust persistence in providing kind compassionate care for your patients. Your loving wife Elizabeth ever powerfully at your side demonstrates the deep love you have shared and you are well loved and cared for by your family.
You have been a pioneer leader in integrating healing options in North America and a wonderful teacher of those of us who have learned so much from you.
Your legacy is strong and we joyfully celebrate your life amidst the memories of your sharing your gifts with so many. You will be missed and you are blessed.
William

Dr.Krop and his family are the most wonderful neighbor's . We have lived next door to them since 1994 and have never meet a family so caring and friendly as them . Dr.Krop loved to maintain his garden and at times I would be puttering outside and we would just start up a conversation just to get the yard work done . He was a wonderful individual and was always willing to offer advice either about health or pesticides around the yard . He will be deeply missed. As for his family , I can’t even imagine the pain and sorrow you all have encountered during this difficult time. May he rest in eternal peace . 🙏

There is a big hole in my life right now. I was a patient of Jozef's and over the years we became good friends. Jozef saved my life by discovering and treating the Lyme Disease I had. He saved countless lives and relieved the suffering of so many patients. My friend we will miss you.
