According to to recent reports Lois Krotz has been identified as dead in an accident .
Lois Krotz was a gormer KLAS Research Employee. Her death news was made public through a post shared online which states:
Our world lost an angel! Along with her family and countless friends, I was devastated to hear that Lois Krotz passed away in a rock-climbing accident this weekend. Lois was not only a longtime colleague and mentor, but she was also a dear friend who always saw the best in me and had a positive impact on the life of everyone who was lucky enough to know her. She was kind, passionate, an unwavering optimist, had an unmatched work ethic, lived life to the fullest and was wise beyond her years.
I know Lois loved her family and friends dearly, so I wanted to take a minute to share a heartfelt example of her kindness and compassion, that I’ll never forget.
One of my first memories working with Lois set an incredible example for the type of person and teammate I hope to be. It’s an example of her lifting me up, in a situation that was one of the toughest in my career up to that moment. I had only been at KLAS a few months and didn’t have a lot of confidence in my role yet. I had spent most of my time at KLAS up to that point, going through the education process with her as a mentor, as we worked together on my first industry report.
We were on the 1-yard line, and just about ready for publication. I went into the executive review process (the last step before the report is published for the world to see), feeling like this was a GREAT report the team had put together. Unfortunately, the executive reviewer didn’t agree with that assessment.
I don’t remember his exact words during the 30-minute review session, but I do remember walking out of that room, feeling devastated, having heard the message, that this might be the worst report this executive had ever read, and that it lacked any cohesive story or flow and needed to be completely rewritten. As we left his office and walked back towards my office, my eyes were fixed on the sheet of paper the executive had written the formal feedback on. He had given the report an ‘F’ grade and I felt like a complete failure. Lois must have seen how devastated I was. I honestly thought this might be something that would derail my career and even potentially end with me losing my job.
I had no idea what to do next, didn’t want to think about the many hours that had been wasted on this substandard product up to that point, and couldn’t imagine how much time it would take to rewrite a 47-page report. I also wasn’t looking forward to the disappointed and angry responses I imagined I’d get from the email I was going to have to send out to all the vendors who were expecting this report to be sent out the next week.
As we got to my office door, Lois stopped me, put her hand on my shoulder, and with her infectious smile, offered the kind of positive encouragement that I would get from her dozens of times over the next 8 years. She told me that this was not as bad as it might seem in the moment and that ‘we’ were going to use this as a learning experience and get this report fixed together; and furthermore, she was 100% confident that we could get it done without delaying the publication. For some reason, I not only believed her, but I instantly felt my spirits lift and that lonely feeling disappear. It was exactly what I needed to hear!
It was a Friday, and the report was set to be sent out externally toward the middle of the following week – I had no idea how we were going to get it done, but I was excited by Lois’ optimism. She asked if I was able to work on the report with her over the weekend and in her never ending enthusiastic, ‘glass-half full’ approach, she suggested that this was not a setback, but a great opportunity to make the report even better than we thought it was. Even though she didn’t have to, she sat with me, side by side in the office, with her adorable dog (providing moral support) that weekend. Over the next 72 hours, we did indeed make that report a thousand times better. In fact, during the rereview, the executive who had given us an F grade, gave the updated report and A+, and couldn’t believe that we were able to completely rework the report with the quality he was looking for, in such a short time. From that moment on, I knew without a doubt, that I could count on Lois and she knew that she could count on me.
I will always do my best to live up to the example of the great teammate and friend that Lois modeled for me during our time working together. It’s rare to find someone that you can trust to get in that fox hole with you when the going gets tough. Lois didn’t have to do what she did that weekend, but it was who she was, when she saw a friend in need, she never hesitated to jump in with both feet to help, no matter the personal sacrifice. You will be missed my friend – but your legacy will live on in the lives of all of us that you touched!
