Condolences
I would have to say that Vo Ag With Mr. Kreager was one of my favorite subjects at S.C. High school. I had him as a teacher for three years. I remember going to several judging contests, and every time we went, it was so enjoyable mostly because of Mr. Kreager. I learned a lot from him, as so many others did as well. We weren’t always the best behaved, but he never gave up on us. I will always remember Mr. Kreager with great fondness, and some of my favorite memories of SC were due to him.
May God bless you, dear family.
Janet, Dean,Ellen, So sorry to hear about your dad. I worked with him at Ohio Ag Stats. Even after he retired he would call just to chat especially after your mom passed. I really enjoyed working with him. You have my deepest sympathy. Laura Coleman, Mount Gilead.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
My condolences to the family. I graduated from South Central High School. Although I was not in the FFA program I remember Mr. Kreager fondly. He was such a kind hearted man. My sympathy goes out to you at this time of loss.
Remembering all the good times that were had with Lowell and Beth. Always felt he was one of the best brother-in-laws. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
