I had both the privilege & honor of knowing Louie & working with him for 50yrs.
He serviced the water systems at various facilities where I worked and taught me something every time we met. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I have known Mr. Krieger all of my life, and am a better man because of his example. I grew up as friends with both his children Eric and Caroline. He took us on numerous outings in Cub Scouts, crabbing, fishing, and trips to his family's properties in Mississippi. As young kids he provided us with a strong example of what it means to be a man, a father, and a husband to his dear wife Bea. He was kind enough to allow me into his home and to be a part of his family and to be like a brother to his kids. I'll never forget the wonderful memories he's given me. May God bless Louie and take him into his arms where we will all be reunited some day. My prayers are with Bea and the Krieger family.
