8/80 SPOTLIGHT:

RICHARD KRUGEL

For 80 years, Richard Krugel has celebrated his birthday on Valentine’s Day. The sentiment is not lost on us. Richard is a sweet and kind man who has spent most of his life volunteering in the Detroit Jewish community. He and his wonderful wife, Sally, have been honored for their volunteerism on many occasions. He feels strongly about shining a light on the good work that Jewish Senior Life of Metropolitan Detroit has accomplished since 1907. JSL is grateful we can honor Richard this year during our 30^th Annual Celebration of Eight Over Eighty, The Tikkun Olam Awards.
