Edward J. "Butch" Kruer Sr.

My thoughts and prayers have been with you all,its not easy giving up those we love so much.My memories of your Dad was always coming in at Sat. 4:30 mass and sitting up front ,it was special.You knew a rock ,of our good church and the Kruer family was there.
I also remember when we were getting ready to build our house 30 years ago and he was with Jim Andres riding around Rustic Hills and they stopped to talk as I was working clearing trees .And Butch offered us his house plans. I thought that was so generous of him,he told me I could come by and see his new house anytime. I told him I had drove by there and it was beautiful,but Joey Andres had already drew up our plans.He and Jim would drive by later and stop and tell me I better have a lot of kids to fill up that house.Butch would surely know how to have a bunch of kids and all wonderful ones too. God Bless you all.And may you Butch, enjoy heaven with all those other saints that have went marching in with from the knobs and starlight area.And may Butch and all those saints pray for our church and all us down here waiting for our turn to enter those golden gates.My sympathy and again my prayers. Alice

Jeff; We were so sad to hear about your dad. We just wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To all Butch's children and to his wife Mogg. I anm so sorry for your loss. He was definitely one of a kind and a very funny guy. He will be missed but he is in heaven with some of his buddies and still euchin' it up.
It was really great to see you all and to Wanda, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi, but I was too busy laughing at Mary Ellen. Please know that my thoughts are with you all and I wish you all the best. Love, Sue (Snider) Hubbuch.

Russ and Ashley, Sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather. You and your family are in my prayers.

Our prayers go out to Mary Ellen and her family at this difficult time. We love you very much.

Mary Ellen: I am thinking of you and Rick and your family at this time. Our love for you extends to your family and your Dad I did not know, but I know his daughter and how proud he must have been of you. You are in my prayers.

My Dad and Butch shared some "interesting" times based on the funny stories both had told me over the years. Butch's recap of their trip to the Daytona 500 has always been one of my favorite stories and I have retold it many times.

Pop used to love to go fishing "down at Butch's" where the beer was always cold and the hospitality abundant. To Peggy and her mother and all of her brothers and sisters our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your father was indeed a good man!
