I remember going over to Bro. Krueger's home on a sunday night with my parents Bill and Alice. I know he was a friend of theirs and that he has been warmly welcomed into the fold with them and many others from the Des Moines area. May you have peace with his passing knowing that we will miss him here but has been reunited with many loved ones and friends.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Brother and Sister Krueger were a huge part of my life growing up. Brother Krueger taught me how to shake hands when I was a child. He and his wife were very good friends with my parents Doc and Marjorie Thompson. Your loss will be hard but he is now with Sister Krueger and Heavenly Father. I hope this helps you in some small way. To us the loss is great but to them it is only a new beginning. Sincerely Terrie Thompson
