Henry Joseph Krcil was born on Thursday, September 20, 1923 near Dante, South Dakota to Adolph and Pauline (Cahoy) Krcil. He attended country school in the Dante area. He served with the US Army in France during World War II. Henry married Adeline Krcil in York, Nebraska. He farmed until 1969, when he went to work at Morgan Manufacturing in Yankton. In his younger years Henry enjoyed collecting coins, woodworking and camping. He was a member of the Pike-Wagner American Legion Post #2.  Following Adeline’s death Henry moved to Arbor Springs in West Des Moines, Iowa to be near his family.
