Herman E. Rosenkrans of Ransom Twp. died Sunday afternoon at Geisinger Community Medical Center.
Born in Taylor, son of the late Norvison and Augusta Burke Rosenkrans, he was a longtime resident of Ransom Twp. As a father figure to Nicholas Malatesta, Herman fostered Nicky's love of the country and construction. They partnered to form Malatesta and Rosenkrans Construction Co., spending 40 years working together. He was also the proprietor of Mountain View Farms and a member of the former Milwaukee United Methodist Church.
Herman is best known for his love of farming, singing and spending time with friends. He loved to share stories about old times and took great pride in being co-founder of the Haunted Bald Mountain Trail.
He was also cared for by his sister-in-law, Gennine Rosenkrans, and the David Wheeler family.
Also surviving are nieces and nephews, Donna DelPrete, Thomas Rosenkrans, Lisa Bewighouse, Linda Fiore, Sandra Kingdom, Michele Kiernan and Winifred Foley; great-nieces and great-nephews.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to friends, Francine Ellis, Patricia Kenia and Charles Beyrent and their families for their help and support.
He was also preceded in death by two brothers, Norvison and Donald; and two sisters, Augusta and Betty Rosenkrans.
A funeral service will be held Saturday at noon in the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit. Interment will follow in Newton Cemetery.
Friends may call Saturday, 10 a.m. until time of service.
