Juergen Droegemueller Obituary

will no longer be seen but he is still doing. Born in Moelln Germany December 1, 1919. Died peacefully at home on December 12, 2012 of heart failure and complications from lung cancer. He has joined his wife Lydia, both of whom were stewards of the earth. Juergen lived life to its fullest and was a source of inspiration and humor to all those around him. He was a passionate volunteer and supporter of the Museum of Science & Industry. Survived by daughter Friedricke Droegemueller of California, daughter Karin Droegemueller of Chicago, and daughter and son-in-law Elizabeth and Tom Munro of Wisconsin. In lieu of flowers, please plant, fix, or give something, as Juergen would do.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Juergen,

I already miss you, its strange knowing that you are not with us anymore. I am so grateful to have been able to call you a friend. I will never forget the things you made possible by your presence at MSI. We are all better for it.
Tschuss!

Juergen was a great friend and soul. He was always there with a positive smile and outlook on things. I learned from him that life is not the troubles but the passions.

I remember the good times in 2002 and 2004 when Uncle Juergen visited us in Ottobrunn on his Germany round trip first with Karin, than with Frederike.
I remember my Uncle was dancing with bavarian Ladies and trinking Beer in the Hofbraeuhaus. I thought, we would come again. Nur die Erinnerungen bleiben uns erhalten.

Our hearts are full with happy memories of all of our wonderful adventures together. We will miss you dearly in the garden, in the orchard, at Aldi's, beside the grill, when we bake cookies, when we enjoy a bratwurst or a glass of wine, and on and on and on. We love you.

In his memory and especially in honor of this vivid, vital father of a friend from my youth, it's indeed time to plant, to fix, to share, to do. So I shall. To his daughters, especially Karin, you are in my thoughts.
