Donald Jerome Krueger, 64, died Friday February 6, 2009 after a long and brave battle against cancer. His family and friends were with him in their presence and their thoughts.

Navy life from 1963-1967 took them to San Diego for a time. In 1974 they moved to Green Bay as Don continued his career with Wisconsin Public Service. One final move in 1985 brought them to Oshkosh. Don retired from WPS in 2002 after 33 years. He then became an instructor for NWTC in Green Bay and Cardinal Stritch University. During Dons life he was involved in numerous committees, clubs, and organizations. His passions became the American Cancer Society, Kiwanis, EAA, Relay for Life, Bosom Buddies Cancer support group, his church, and his community.
