Memories of Barry

I met Barry when we both joined the real world after college. He convinced me to join the bowling team, which I had never done, and he patiently help me (and others on the team) improve. It was always amazing near the end of a bowling night, when he'd look at the scores in the eighth frame and start

Barry and I met at church, around 1968. We were classmates in High School. Beyond all of that he was one of my best friends. I was always amazed at how Barry would start doing something and be good at it right away. We played many rounds of golf together, never came close to beating him. I have

I learned to play golf in the Krueger's yard in Mt Pleasant, hitting plastic golf balls between trees, clotheline poles, or other fixed objects that were the "holes". The toughest shot was hitting over the house from the front to back yard! Later, as a freshman in high school, Barry sold me his ful

I consider myself fortunate to have worked with somebody as dedicated as Barry. For work that I'd tune out on, Barry would roll his eyes and say "again, Andy...", he brought professionalism, focus, good work, and a laugh. "Ah jeez"... Gonna miss you

I met Barry in 1988 in Sunnyvale CA and we have been close friends ever since.

I had the pleasure of working with Barry and Patty at IBM creatiing software with IBM and operation support in the Sunnyvale 'blue cube' with the orbit analysis group. He was the resident expert in the orbit analysis group since he was involved in writing the software with Patty. He excelled in an

My memories of Barry ended when we were both about 20 years old. Having gone our separate ways after high school, our paths crossed only a few times after that. I had always known what a great person he was when we were in school in Mt Pleasant, and when I would look through the high school yearbo

I first met Barry in the late 1990's playing golf in the Pine Creek men's club. Barry and I were paired together several times. I always looked forward to playing golf with Barry, Barry was always happy engaging and a very good and ethical golfer. Barry was fun to be with. Years later Barry an

I had the honor of working with Barry at Sunnyvale Air Force Station in the late 1980s. He was quick to solve difficult software issues; always a kind and generous teacher and mentor to everyone around him. He was a true team player and good sport. We had a lot of laughs, too. He was an instigator o

Submitted by Greg Modesitt - Our family met the Krueger family in 1994 when we moved across the street and became neighbors. Over the next 8 years, Barry and I became good friends, golfed together in various events, and watched our kids grow up together, which was priceless. I’ll never forget our
