Krueger, 96, of Tripoli, Iowa passed away on Sunday, April 5, 2020, at MercyOne Hospital in Waterloo. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and at the direction of the Center for Disease Control and Governor Kim Reynolds, there will be no public services at this time. Private family graveside services with military rites conducted by Brandenburg-Krueger Post #4013 V.F.W. of Tripoli will be held at Grace Lutheran Church Cemetery, rural Tripoli. Rev. Dennis Niezwaag will officiate the graveside service. A private family viewing will be held at Rettig Funeral Home in Tripoli. A Celebration of Life for the public will be held at a later date. Herbert Henry, son of Carl and Elsa (Nauholz) Krueger was born July 19, 1923, at the family’s home, rural Sumner. He was baptized and confirmed at Grace Lutheran Church in Tripoli. Herb received his education in the rural Sumner Schools. Herb served in the U.S. Army from 1943-1945, being assigned to the 10th Mountain Division to battle for our freedom in World War II. After the first year he moved up in ranks from private to squad sergeant in the Artillery Division. Herb also proudly gained the nickname “Corn” from being a small town Iowa farm boy. He was honorably discharged in 1945 and came back to the area to farm and then to work at Rath Packing Plant in Waterloo, prior to his retirement in 1985. On January 2, 1946, Herb was united in marriage with Ida Ross at the Little Brown Church, near Nashua. To this union four children were born, Dennis, Judy, Jane, and Herb, Jr. He made Tripoli his home for most of his life, but also lived in the Frederika area, where he served as Mayor. Ida passed away on October 11, 1999. Herb’s favorite pastimes throughout the years included fishing with his kids, grandkids, and good buddies, gardening, telling stories, going for rides, and spending time with his family and friends. Herb was an attendee on the Honor Flight in May of 2012. He was genuinely loved by many for his love of life, his witty nature, generosity, and ability to entertain with his countless funny stories. Herb made Oelwein Health Care Center his home for the past year, maintaining his sense of humor when family came to visit or with daily visits with the staff. Herb is survived by his four children, Dennis (Marsha) Krueger of Jerseyville, Illinois, Judy Suckow of Oelwein, Jane (Roger) Maakestad of Jesup, and Herb Jr. (Keelie) Krueger of Kenyon, Minnesota; six grandchildren, Jill (Chad) Turner of Jerseyville, Illinois, Susan (Travis) Larson of Jesup, Matthew (Jackie) Krueger of Tullahoma, Tennessee, Brian Krueger of Texas, Toni (Jeremy) Eggert of Kenyon, Minnesota, and Sara Kelly of Strawberry Point; and nine great-grandchildren. In addition to his parents and wife, Ida, he was preceded in death by his three brothers, Robert (Norma), Carl, Jr. and his brother in infancy. Becker-Milnes & Rettig
