When the lights went out in Papa's Space;
He was meant for Hospice Care and Comfort Place.
He tried his best. He was put to the test.
Now it was time for him to rest.
We Will Miss You PAPA...

Dear Krueger Family--We enjoyed meeting and working with your Father while he designed our St. Cloud home in the late 60's. We no longer live in the house but admire it whenever we drive by. He IS resting in peace!
