Harold Richard Krueger

Born March 22,1931 to Helen and Richard Krueger in Painesville, Ohio. He with his parents, lived his younger years in Ohio and Pittsburgh. His dad got a job in Bremerton, Washington repairing ships that were damaged in world war two. They moved cross country to Port Orchard where Harold completed his schooling. He worked as a tile setter in Seattle for six months. Fearing that he would be drafted, he joined the air force in 1951. He spent most of his four years in the military in England. He enjoyed being in the service, and achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant.

After discharge, he needed a job, searched in California, was recruited by Boeing, and moved to Moses Lake, Washington as a mechanic on the flight line. In Moses Lake he met a young lady who tweaked his interest. Three and a half months later, they married. They lived in Moses Lake for five years, then moved to Seattle. For two and a half years he had short term work in various states, working on missiles, including installing one on display at the Smithsonian. He asked for and got into the tech rep pool, and was sent to various countries to work with air lines. He loved the overseas living, travel, and adventures. Harold spent approximately twenty-three years living overseas. He retired out of Germany, September 1, 1999. Harold worked for Boeing for over forty-four years. Upon retiring he bought a home in Port Orchard. There, he spent twenty-four years enjoying life, family, and serving God.
Harold saved the best trip for last. He went to heaven October 28, 2023. He is now on assignment with his son, Keith.
