Ronald L. Krueger, age 91, of Oshkosh, died Sunday morning, March 25, 2018, at Eden Meadows. Born on February 11, 1927, in Oshkosh, the son of Henry and Edna (Rutz) Krueger, Ronald married Shirley Krings on October 1, 1949. They were married for “65 years, 3 months and 8 days” as he proudly stated many times. She preceded him in death on January 8, 2015.
He was employed by Dahl Motors as a mechanic and Service Manager for many years and later was employed by Oshkosh Truck Corporation. Ronald enjoyed fishing, hunting, polka music, Sunday drives, storytelling, and was always ready to lend a hand. With his uncanny memory for names, details and events, he relished sharing good stories about his southside neighborhood and the entire Oshkosh area. He was a member of St. Jude the Apostle Parish.
Survivors include his children, James (Marilyn) Krueger of Oshkosh, Kathryn (Michael) Swederske of Omro, and Lori Kroening of Oshkosh; his daughter-in-law, Marla Krueger of Oshkosh; two granddaughters, Jennifer (Jeff) Krueger of Deforest, Wisconsin, and Kristin (Dan) Krueger-Vinson of Morton Grove, Illinois; three great-grandchildren, Noah, Sophia, and Eleanor. In addition to his wife, preceding him in death were his son, Steven Krueger and his son-in-law, Norbert “Trip” Kroening III.

The family wishes to thank the gracious and professional staff at Eden Meadows Rehabilitation and Skilled Care who provided him with continual support and a loving home since last August. Ascension Hospice provided sensitive guidance and assistance in his recent days.
