Robert D. Crytzer 1949-2026

Dale was born July 7, 1949, to the late Ralph and Margaret Hlavcak Crytzer.

He was raised in North Jackson and was a graduate of Jackson-Milton High School. Dale was an extremely hard worker his entire life, starting young on his family farm.

He began his professional career as a commercial technician at Dominion East Ohio Gas, where he retired after 35 years. Upon retirement from the gas company, Dale continued working on gas lines.

He always helped any friend or family member who needed him. Dale loved to keep busy and lend a hand.

Dale enjoyed hunting, fishing, drinking beer and watching all Cleveland sports. All of these things left him disappointed at one time or another.

Dale leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife of 25 years, Carol Rivello Crytzer; children, Wes (Sandy) Crytzer, Dawn Domitrovich, Shelly Crytzer and Jessica (Brian, his buddy) Hallquist; seven grandchildren, Nick, Christian, Gabriella, Josh, Cole, Brooke and Brian; sister, Kathy Hawkins; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Ralph Crytzer; and sister, Virginia Buzzelli.

Dale’s family extends heartfelt gratitude to the incredible caregivers and staff at Ohio Living Hospice and at Maplecrest Nursing and Rehabilitation in Struthers, whose compassion and care brought comfort in Dale’s final year, especially to his STNA, Jen, whom he enjoyed chasing down the hallways in his wheelchair.

The family will receive relatives and friends 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 14, 2026, followed by a 4 p.m. memorial service, at Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Ave., Boardman.

Family and friends are encouraged to offer prayers for the family by visiting the Book of Memories at www.rossifunerals.com.
