Dear Erich & Mary & family; Our condolences on the passing of your Dad, Opa, and great grand father. Peter & I have fond memories of John. He treated us like family and it was a pleasure to hear his stories. We will remember his smile and his love of the Lord. He will truly be missed.
We will miss John who lived out his faith as a servant of God and represented well the saving gospel of Jesus. John exemplified care for others in the message he shared about God’s free gift of love and forgiveness. John was a good friend and a strong example.
Heartfelt condolences to the entire Kroeger family. Your Dad & Opa was a very special man. His ever present smile and kindness will always be remembered. He welcomed my family all those years ago when we moved to Calgary as if we were related. Over the years he was a constant spiritual supporter especially for my late husband and came to his bedside in those last hours…like an Angel that guided my husband’s soul to Heaven. God Bless you Mr. Kroeger. LINDA MCCRACKEN August 17, 2021
