John R Krueger

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

John was a beacon of musical ministry at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Sun Prairie. He shared his musical knowledge and talents with everyone, no matter the occasion or age group. His talents from the piano or organ bench were appreciated, often times with thunderous applause during or after a service. God speed good servant.

I’m so sorry to hear of John’s passing. He had the biggest heart, and his musical expertise and knowledge of all things church music was just the best. He was a great leader and colleague at OSLC. I learned so much from him and I appreciated all the opportunities he gave me at OSLC. I have so many great memories with John: our Christmas Eve meals between the evening and 11pm worship services, his role in the stewardship musical (the name of which escapes me right now), Anna sitting on the organ bench next to her dad, all the Food Pantry concerts he put together, planning many Christmas by Candlelight concerts with him, conducting the brass and percussion with John at the organ on Easter Sunday, rehearsing and singing in the Hipke-Krueger-Schmidt quartet are some of my favorites. However my fondest memories are the simple ones: his kind, gentle demeanor, the way he mentored young musicians and his smile after he shared a pun or corny joke. He never missed giving me a birthday card on my birthday. Through my health struggles, I missed him and I will now continue to do so. Sending hugs and my deepest sympathies. May God bless and comfort you all.

Dear Krueger Family,Sorry for your loss. Our family appreciates the many years of wonderful music and mentorship John (and your family)brought toOSLC

As a neighborhood member walking her adopted dog after retirement, we would encounter John and Bravo out and about on walks. I did not have the opportunity to know John well, though one lengthy conversation about how he ended up at the short course, and then here, told me a lot, and reminded me why I am here, as well. I am sad knowing we won't have those encounters again, but I have thought of him often and know that will continue.
