Very Bad News Today
I just got word the David Kruger (jackpine savage) was in a wreck on one of his bikes on July 24 and passed away. He was to meet us at the RTE in Galena,Il but did not show up.I had been wondering why we have not heard from him lately. I think some of you got to meet him back at MOONSHINE. I will post more details later......
52-year old David Kruger of Nelson, Wisconsin died when his motorcycle struck a deer on Highway 63 in Wabasha County, just north of Rochester.
Dave was a very active member on this site, and also an outstanding personality.
Just a couple looks at his posts like this one from Beijing
or this one where he jokes about working on Hondas with a good friend
or a post on new friends met at Moonshine
and you get just an idea of the good nature and friendship
which made Dave a great person.
Dave even got the Field of Dreams Campout going here
so he was instrumental in helping other meet and forge life
long friendships.
If someone has some pics of dave, please send them and I'll add to this memorial. I'm not good with words at times like this so please add
replies to this which will help us remember Dave in the way He would
want.
Godspeed Dave.....
Note (8/24/2006) from Dave's Wife:
Joe,
Thank you for allowing me to access this site. I very much enjoyed
reading all of my husband's posts and replies and was reminded again of
one of the many reasons why I loved him so much -- he knew how to make
me laugh. I attempted to post a reply to all the notes from the
individual members wishing our family their best and expressing their
condolences but obviously did not do so correctly. If you could please
post this note, I would very much appreciate it. David was a wonderful
husband and father and his absence is keenly felt. Please keep his name
in mind on your next group ride, he would like that. He truly enjoyed
the Moonshine (?) Ride and his Field of Dreams Ride with Tom so much and
was looking forward to many more, including Galena, IL. Thank you
again.
