Dave, Darren, and Deanne,
We are so sorry for the loss of your father. I enjoyed many years of teaching in the same building with Ken and have many fond memories of the good laughs. Ken did a tremendous job in the classroom and on the mat. He worked with both of our sons Ryan and Keith and taught them a lot. We will miss him.

Dear Droegemueller family,
As a student and coach of Osseo athletics, I could not have been more proud to have been associated with such a fine person as Ken. As a student, Ken commanded the deepest respect that teenage kids can have, and as a coach Ken provided the icon of what high school athletics should be about, developing people to achieve the most in life when they leave the sport. God bless your whole family, and thanks for everything that Ken has given to so many.

Dear Dave and Weston,
I'm truly sorry about the passing of your grandfather/father. Even though i only met the man once Coach Kelly always would say some of his famous quotes during practice. It was really nice of you two to come to my practice to get Weston and I better even after he died
Thank you again and I'm Sorry

Jason and I were neighbors with Ken up until 6 months ago when we moved to Rogers. While we were neighbors we had many fond conversations with him. He always told us of how proud he was of his children. He would tell us lots of great stories of their adventures and his as well. We sure enjoyed watching and talking with Margaret and Ken while they gardened or did misc yard work. He will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Droegemueller, Darren and his family during this difficult time. I graduated from Osseo High School in 1988 and had great respect for him as a teacher and a wrestling coach. He was wonderful to his students, wrestlers and cheerleaders alike and was enjoyed by everyone at Osseo High School.

I was so sad to hear of your father's passing. He truly was a great man. All of us, cheerleaders, managers and wrestlers, had great respect for him. I hope in this time of sorrow, that you can remember all the great things he did in his lifetime. Cherish those thoughts, for they will keep him alive in your hearts forever. God bless you all.
