KRUEGER—James Krueger passed away on April 13, 2019, after an extended illness. He was born in War- ren, Ohio, on July 23, 1940, to Earl and Mary Krueger; he was the youngest of four chil- dren. Jim’s quick wit and perseverance character- ized his entire life. After graduation from high school, he joined the Air Force, where he was as- signed to Food Services. By the time that he was discharged three-and-a- half years later, he had risen from the position of line cook to being responsible for procure- ment of provisions for a base of 2,000 airmen. After his discharge form the service, he left a position in commerce to obtain a degree at Or- egon State University, he was then the own- er-operator of several businesses, including two outlets of the note- worthy “Sensorium”, an innovative approach to gifting and lifestyle. He then left the busi- ness world to become a regulator for the State of Oregon, using his busi- ness experience and in- terpersonal skills to rise from an entry level posi- tion to middle manage- ment in the Financial Affairs Division. Jim was preceded in death by his three sib- lings. He is survived by his life-partner of 55 years, and as his hus- band for the past 5 years, Mark Wagener. Surviving relatives from Phoenix, Ariz., are: nieces Julie Jakubi- sin, Cathy Gabriel, Deb- bie Gile and Lisa Jakubi- sin and nephew John Jakubisin. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Virgin- ia Meeker and Connie Donegan; and his neph- ew Paul Meeker of Flor- ence. With the care of his family and hospice staff, he was able to fulfill his desire to die at home, viewing his beloved vis- ta of the Siuslaw River and the 101 bridge from his Florence condo- minium. A gathering of friends and family in celebra- tion of his life will occur on Saturday, June 15, at 2 p.m. at the Off Bay Street Bistro, 165 Maple St. in Old town, Flor- ence.
