Dear Claire,

I just found out Dr. Krug had passed away. My husband and I were patients of his and truly loved him. He was a wonderful person with such a vibrant, sincere, and wonderful personality. He was from the old school one that truly cared about his patients, he made you feel like family. We were honored in our life to have known him and will always treasure that. When you meet someone like Dr. Krug they never truly pass away they live on in our hearts as they are special and have made a difference in our life. With sincere sympathy,
Elaine and Gene Strasser

To Claire and family, I was so blessed to have know Dr. Krug. Dr. Krug hired me when I was going through a very difficult time. He always made me laugh in the toughest times. The wonderful things Dr. Krug did for me. He sent me to school to learn his accounting system. His assistant Pat Rosson brought me to his office at 5A.M. when I had an abscessed tooth. He was so kind. When Christmas came and my daughter and I had no Christmas tree he took me and bought the most beautiful tree, ornaments and even had bows made. Tawnya my daughter now has her own home and we split the ornaments and bows. He made reservations at the Marriott Hotel for Tawnya and I to have a Mother - Daughter week-end. Dr. Krug had beautiful Christmas parties for his staff at the Briarwood in Golden. These are just a few of the things that he did. There wasn't a day that he didn't speak of you Claire and how much he loved you and his children. Dr. Krug loved life and he loved people. I wish that there could be more men in the world like him. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Dear Claire and family:
Everytime I came in to see Dr. Krug he would always start bragging on me - telling everyone in the office that I had passed the CPA exam on my first try. It was a little embarrassing but Dr. Krug could never be "shushed". I proudly tell everyone that I had the same dentist for 30 years and would never consider going anywhere else.

Dr. Krug was a phenomenal man and I will remember him fondly and with a smile. You are in my thoughts.

Dear Claire & family:
I am sending you this note on behalf of Claudette Cue who was a former employee of Dr. Krug. She lives in Crescent, OK. now and would like to send you her deepest sympathy, and to please ask if you wouldn't contact her at [email protected] your convenience. Since she was unable to attend services at Faith Bible Chapel, she would very much like a copy of the Memorial from the services held on May 2.
I live in Englewood, CO. so I could pick it up for her if you prefer rather than mail it.
Thank you so much and our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Claire,

I'm so sorry to hear of Dr. Krug's passing. He was my dentist for years growing up in Lakewood. He was a kind man and amazingly considerate of the needs of his patients.

I never understood how people could dread going to the dentist, when as a kid, I always enjoyed seeing Dr. Krug. He made me laugh and seemed to take a genuine interest in me and my family. After I moved away from the Denver area, I found dentists in other cities, but none who had the kind and generous heart that Dr. Krug shared so willingly with his patients. Please know that he touched many lives and mine was one of them.

I think the "You don't have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep" plaque on his wall demonstrated how he treated his patients. 50% love and 50% humor. It made him a spectacular dentist and a great man. He will be missed by many.

Dear Claire,

We were so sorry to hear about Dr. Krug's passing. He was Murray's dentist from the age of middle school and I started seeing him in the early 80's. We will always remember the two of you getting up in the middle of the night to help Murray with his broken tooth after he had finished Ride the Rockies in 1991. With love and deepest sympathy,

Claire – My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family in this difficult time. I will always have such fond memories of Dr. K’s kidding around and just having a good time being the prankster that he was. He brought so much kindness and happiness to so many lives. Please know that heaven is a brighter place with him there. We are all holding you and him, in our hearts.
