Harold Kreloff, 94, a resident of Montara Meadows, passed away at Nathan Adelson Hospice, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008. Harold enjoyed a long, interesting life. As a young man, he worked as a barker for impresario Mike Todd at the 1939 New York World's Fair. During this time, he met and married fellow New Yorker, Florence Cantor. Harold enlisted in the U.S. Army shortly before the outbreak of World War II, and was stationed at Fort Jackson, S.C. Following the war, his careers included stints as a gas station owner, New York cabbie and a travel agent. He moved his family to Miami in 1967. Following the death of his wife in 1984, he met Dora Grupeter, and they lived together until her death in 2001. Harold moved to Southern California in the mid-90's to be close to his son, Martin; and relocated to Las Vegas with his son in 2004. Harold will be remembered as an entertaining raconteur, even if the stories were embellished a little here and there. Harold will be buried next to his wife, Florence, at Vista Memorial Gardens in Miami. He was preceded in death by his wife, Florence; his longtime companion, Dora Grupeter; and one brother, Samuel Kreloff. Harold is survived by his sons, Martin Kreloff and partner, Tim Olsen, of Las Vegas, and Rev. Steven Kreloff and wife, Michele, of Clearwater, Fla.; grandchildren, Benjamin Kreloff of Clearwater, Sarah Cotton of Chicago, and Rachel Goode of Clearwater; great-grandchildren, Abby, Naomi and Luke Kreloff, and Drew and Jack Goode; brother, Bernard Kreloff of Florida; and his sister, Gudy Koenigsberg of Israel.
