Joseph Krueger Obituary
Joseph retired from the Department of Corrections in 2002. He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.

He is survived by his wife, Charlotte of 48 years; son Joseph (Nicole) Krueger; daughter, Mary (Tony) Cusack; grandchildren Gavin, Zackery and Hannah; brothers-in-law Lamont Farrell and family of Fountain Valley, Calif., Jack Farrell of New Mexico and Willard (Kim) Farrell of Ionia; sister-in-law, Peggy (George) Shindorf of Ionia; several nieces and nephews; special friends, Phill and Adel Hausserman.
The Memorial Mass will be celebrated by Rev. Thomas Boufford at 11 a.m., Friday, April 4, 2014, at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 434 High St., Ionia. The family will receive friends 5-8 p.m., Thursday at the Lehman Funeral Home, 220 Rich St., Ionia. The rosary will be prayed at 7:30 p.m.

Remembering! Mick and I were buddies back in the 50's at Townline Lake. They had a cottage next to our home. I would go and stay at his house when the Free Fair was on and we would help set up at the fair for a few dollars. I had a hydro plane boat and one day Mick was driving it and the throttle stuck and drove it right through Mr. Chase's dock. We rode horses on Sunday sometimes and on my scooter all the time. Best of time. Fred Reil

Char, Mary Jo, Joey and Families,
We were so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was a wonderful person and the best neighbor we could ever hope to have. We can't bear the thought of looking East and knowing he is no longer there with you. We will miss him terribly.
Love, Carol & Tim
