MR. REINER ""ROY"" KRAL of Nobleford, beloved husband of Linda Kral, passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Friday, April 17, 2009 at the age of 72 years.

Roy was born in Duisburg, Germany on January 8, 1937. Roy became a Canadian citizen in 1966. During his life in Canada, Roy worked for Noble Cultivators, Kircheners, Dresser Rand, New Noble, and Southland Welding. Roy loved his work as a welder, however he especially loved maintenance work and ""tinkering around"" anything and everything mechanical. His passions in life included; his cat ""Willie"", his ability to feed birds, and his love of all animals. Roy was known for doing repairs for all the neighborhood kids, and always had the time to spend with his numerous Godchildren. He will be most remembered for his collection of BMW Motorcycles. He attended motorcycle rallies in places like Colorado, Spokane, Sault Ste. Marie, Calgary and Sturgis.

Roy was a quiet, gentle man. He had a great smile and even a better sense of humor. Roy had a big heart, and was never known to get angry. He always made time for motorcycle talks and his friends.

Roy is survived by his wife Linda of 34 years, his daughters; Sylvia (Dave Moore) Mulholland and Barbara Mulholland; his grandson Colton; his brother Ulrich of Germany; and his wife's loving family in the United States.
He was predeceased by his parents Maria and Albin; and his brother-in-law Timothy Kimbrell.
