![]() | Howard E. Krueger, Owner of Krueger Funeral Home & N.Y.S. Licensed Funeral Director Email: howard@kruegerfh.com Howard or "Howie" to most was the 4th child of the late Leona J. (Benedict) & Ewald P. Krueger. He was born on a cold winter night in 1960 at St. Mary's Hospital in Syracuse, New York. He grew up in the hamlet of Mattydale involved with the same activities as most kids of his era. Playing baseball & basketball, building model airplanes, exploring surrounding wooded area. Later he found out this was the same property that the late L. Frank Baum grew up on as a child some 100+ years before. This formerly agricultural area are now filled with Schools, apartment buildings, businesses and the like. Outside the Little league games and Boy Scout camping trips he grew up in surroundings much different from most children. |
