LeRoy Kenneth "Bud" Krueger son of Herman and Gertrude (McKnight) Krueger was born September 16, 1921 on the family farm in rural Stevens County. He grew up and attended country school.

He was united in marriage to Hazel Winter on May 19, 1945 in Willmar, Minnesota. The family made their home in Morris where Bud worked as a plumber for Home Builders.

He retired in 1983 and continued to live in Morris with his wife Hazel.
Bud was a member of Federated Church in Morris. He enjoyed collecting rocks, making jewelry, wood carving projects, coffee with his coffee group and keeping an immaculate lawn. He loved to be surrounded by family and friends and sharing his stories.

He is survived by his wife, Hazel Krueger of Starbuck; daughter, Margie (Larry) Nelson of Morris; two grandchildren, Benjamin (Tara) Nelson of St. Joseph and Molly Nelson (special friend Eric Sanford) of St. Paul and several nieces and nephews.
