Ron Krueger, 79, of North Fork, Idaho, passed away on Friday, October 14, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona. Funeral services were held on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church of Salmon and burial followed at the Salmon Cemetery.
Ron was born on November 10, 1936 in Payette, Idaho, the son of Albert and Mabel (Mosgaard) Krueger. The family moved to Pasco, Washington where Ron grew up and graduated from high school in 1954. He was active in Boy Scouts, several fraternal organizations, was a Mason and a Shriner.
Ron was united in marriage with Mary Lawrence in 1955. To this union, three boys were born: Kevin, Randy and Garrell. The family moved to the Lewiston/Clarkston area in 1957, where Ron managed a service station and later worked on a mobile home lot with his brothers. This eventually became an RV Sales lot that closed in 1980 when he joined 4 partners in opening an RV sales lot in Lewiston, Idaho.
In 1975 Ron married Phyllis A. (Huff) Vail in Lewiston, Idaho. The couple opened their own RV business in 1990 in Clarkston, Washington where they worked together for many years. In 1995 they expanded to open another lot in Lewiston, Idaho. Ron was President of the Clarkston Chamber of Commerce in 1997 and was instrumental in the development and setting up of the Vernon Park Christmas display, a project that was labor intensive every year.
Ron enjoyed traveling and loved to explore new areas. He was proud to have traveled to all seven continents and was blessed to journey to Israel, Jordan and Palestine in 2015 which was his most rewarding trip. He was known for his beautiful smile, pleasant personality and sense of humor, and will be greatly missed.
Ron is survived by his wife, Phyllis, of North Fork, ID; sons, Kevin (Ruoqiao) Krueger, of Spring, Tx, Randy (D'on) Krueger, of Spokane Valley, WA, and G.W. Krueger, of Spokane, WA; daughter, Teri Keller, of Moses Lake, WA; sisters, June (Don) Hobbs, of Richland, WA, and Marilyn Krueger, of Kennewick, WA; brother, Larry Krueger, of Spokane; sister-in-law, Claire (Roger) Strom, of Hurricane, UT; father-in-law, Gene Risbon, of Salmon, ID; seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
