Recommendation Letter for Cronk Insurance
To whom it may concern:
I recently had Erik Cronk from Cronk Insurance Inc. review my insurance policies from another agency and I didn’t realize how much I was overpaying for my coverage!
Cronk Insurance is a family-owned agency, with a legacy of over 50 years of providing insurance for the Erie community. From personal insurance, to auto, home, renters, and even business insurance, the team at Cronk Insurance delivers honesty, integrity, and and a commitment to service for their clients. As a member of the Insurance Agents & Brokers Association, they are able to provide insurance coverage from some of the top companies, including Erie Insurance, Travelers, Progressive, Nationwide, and many more!
When I reached out to Erik, I had his team look at my home and auto insurance — it had been a few years since I took the time to review my policies and I didn’t know if I had the best rates available. If I said the process was “simple,” I’d be under-emphasizing how easy it was to work with Erik. All he needed were copies of my insurance policies and he was off and running. A short time later Erik offered me three options — all of which saved me money and either offered the same level of coverage or better. Erik offered to walk me through my policy options prior to making a decision, which I did. This is the first time in my 25 years of purchasing insurance that anyone actually explained what the coverage meant. In the end, I had enough knowledge to make an educated decision and selected coverage that was much better than what I had before and it still saved me almost $400 per year!
Erik’s experience and thorough understanding of the insurance industry were evident throughout this entire process. I know I can rely on the team at Cronk Insurance when I need them most. When you have them take care of your insurance needs, I’m certain you’ll feel the same way.
Yours truly,
Adam Baker

Recommendation Letter for Lorei Portraits
To whom it may concern,
I was in need of a professional photographer and reached out to Paul Lorei of Lorei Portraits, and I’m so glad we were able to connect.
Lorei Portraits is a professional photography studio with a 30-year history in Erie, PA. They specialize in family and senior portraits, as well as professional head shots. Their stress-free consulting service covers everything from choosing the proper location and clothing to helping identify the best way to display your portraits in your home. They offer in studio, on location, evening or weekend, and even destination photography. Lorei Portraits is so confident in their product, they offer a “100% Happiness Guarantee” – if you aren’t thrilled with your portraits, they will retake or recreate them at no charge!
I needed an updated headshot for a short-notice business opportunity. When I reached out to Paul, I explained that I needed help – I had limited time for a photo shoot and a quick turnaround on the portrait. Paul was incredibly accommodating, fitting me into his busy schedule that same day, and promising to provide me my portraits in less than a week — this is unheard of in photography!
Originally, I had my wife take the photos on my iPhone. After all, Apple raves about their camera! After working with Paul, I realize that it’s not the camera that makes the photo, it’s the photographer who knows how to capture the look you are aiming for. Paul asked me what my vision was, helped me select the proper clothing, and engaged in conversation as he conducted the photo shoot. When we sat down to review the photos, I was blown away at how he was able to capture the professional look I was trying to achieve. My wife will attest, we spent hours trying to capture that look before finally reaching out to Paul – he did it in less than 20 minutes!
I can appreciate a business that saves their clients time, money, and frustration, and produces amazing results – that’s what Schooley Mitchell does for its clients and after working with Paul, that’s exactly what Lorei Portraits does for their clients!
When it comes to photography, you really should leave it to the professionals at Lorei Portraits – they’ll capture that moment in time in such a way that you won’t just have a photo, you’ll have a work of art!
Yours truly,
Adam Baker
