Howard J. Krug

November 14, 1921 - May 4, 2020

Our Heavenly Father called Howard Joseph Krug to his Heavenly home on Monday, May 4, 2020. Howard was born November 14, 1921, to Joseph Jr. and Lea Krug in the Town of Forest, WI. He was a life-long member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where he became the oldest living male member at the age of 96. Howard worked many years on the family farm and 20 years at Mercury Marine. During retirement, one of Howard's greatest pleasures was volunteering at the hospital, where he donated 6,578 hours. He truly missed being there, but enjoyed the lunches with the shampoo ladies. He also played golf in morning leagues and hit a hole-in-one 2 times. Howard enjoyed watching the Brewers. His love for baseball started in his younger years when he was the catcher on and later managed the Forest Athletic teams. Many springs he traveled to Arizona to see the Brewer Training Camps. Howard is survived by his brother, Franklin Krug, and nieces and nephews: Marjean (Elroy) Conradt of Fountain City, Debora Jaeger, Barbara Krug, Tamara (Tom) Schanke of Elkhart Lake, Gloria Krug, and Todd (Karla) Krug of Green Bay and many grand and great grand nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister and brother-in-law, Dorothy (Wilbur) Hinz, sister-in-law, Lois Krug, niece, Mary Baehman, and nephew-in-law, Robert Jaeger. Due to the current Safer at Home restrictions, a Private family graveside service will be held at Forest Cemetery on Monday, May 11, 2020. Memorial service will be held at a later date at St. Paul’s Ev. Lutheran Church, Town of Forest. Special thanks to Woodlands Senior Park and Agnesian Hospice for your care of our brother and uncle.
