Johnny was one of the most honest, hard-working and talented men to ever farm the Yellowstone Valley. His sense of humor, zest for life and exquisite taste will forever live on in the legacy of his children and grandchildren for generations to come. He always had a twinkle in his eye, a good story to tell and an open door to many friends and any passerby who was down on his luck. His music will forever be remembered by anyone who was lucky enough to hear him play. He played eight musical instruments "by ear" and brought joy to thousands from the age of 6 to his final performance at his grandson's wedding dance in 2010. In the early years he would play until 7 a.m., only to come home, change clothes, milk the cows, and head for the field to provide for his family. His garden was always top notch and he shared the harvest with all. Johnny loved his wife and her cooking and they worked side by side to make a living for 68 years. His family always came first. Johnny's three girls were always dressed in their Sunday best. His faith never waivered through good times and bad. Johnny served many years as a Trustee for Bethlehem Congregational Church of which he was a lifetime member. He even helped build the church and parsonage still standing today. Maintaining his equipment impeccably was a priority for Johnny and he was always "Johnny on the Spot" for any neighbors needing help. Johnny was preceded in death by his parents Gustav and Elizabeth (Moser) Krieger and all his siblings, Gideon Krieger, Albert Krieger, Esther Weixel, Martha Baum, Leona Brazer and infant sisters, Eva and Ruth. Johnny leaves behind his loving wife Hilda and three daughters, Karen (John) Ring, Cheryl (Tom) Harmon and Darlene (and the late Richard) Laferriere; nine grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter. His last few days on earth were spent by the side of his loving wife and soul mate holding hands. Subtly put by a granddaughter several years ago "No one is perfect, but Grandpa comes really close!" The family is requesting any memorials be made to Rocky Mountain Hospice or Bethlehem Congregational Church. Funeral service for Johnny will be 2 p.m. Saturday, March 17, at Bethlehem Congregational Church in Worden. Interment will follow at the Pleasantview Cemetery in Ballantine.
