Reflections for Police Officer George Edward Krueger
August 20, 1955 I wasn’t even born yet but learned later that Sixty nine years ago our family was upset by the trajectory of this sad day.
My uncles family was torn in directions inconceivable and their life was changed forever.
Praying that one day we will all reunite and pay homage to his courage.

It’s hard to believe this happened to us, our family losing a police officer, a son, a brother, a uncle ,a friend! What could have been ? What you could have said to me, what I would have said to you ? Would you have loved me? Would we have been best friends? Would you have been my favorite uncle ?. Why !!! I guess I’ll only know when it’s my day meeting you in heaven . My life has been great uncle, just wish you would have been able to know that your little sister had a great daughter that wishes she had not lost her uncle to senseless murder but always has you in her heart . Love you Margie

Dad, today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. There has not been a day in my life that I have not thought of you and missed you terribly. I am very proud of the profession that you chose in life and mostly proud of the person that you were. The pain of missing you is still very raw but I will always continue to strive and be the kind of person you would be proud to call your daughter. Thank you for the example of living and working in a profession that you loved and strived to do a good job everyday. Love you, Carol.

In 1955 I was a young police cadet assigned to the Fourth Precinct (Fort and Green). I was on duty at the time Officer Krueger was shot. I can still see the sad faces of the police officers in the station house as they wept upon learning of the death of their brother officer. After forty-six years serving the public in law enforcement, I retired as chief of police in Milan, Michigan. Because of George, I think I was a better officer.

I never knew my father because he was killed when I was 3 years old. I heard stories how he loved being a policeman by serving his community and representing his badge with honors. I will always be proud of who you were dad. Carol.

My father was a Detroit police officer for 27 years. In going through some of his old photographs today, I came across two reels of View Master photos that he took of Officer Kreuger's funeral. If anyone in the family would like them, (you would need to buy a View Master Viewer to see them), I would be happy to give them to you.

My father, Arthur LaVigne, served on the Detroit P.D. from 1954-1960 so he may have known you. He then went on to retire from the Flint P.D. in 1987. May God bless your family and may you rest in peace.
