Richard Krug 4/2/1945 - 4/12/2008
On April 12th, my step-dad and mom were in a motorcycle accident while on an afternoon ride between Kingman and Bullhead City, AZ. My mother was airlifted to Las Vegas where a plate was screwed into her leg to repair a fractured tibia. Dick didn't survive the accident. His obituary follows...
Richard T. Krug, 63, of Kingman, Ariz., and formerly of Oil City, Penn., died Saturday, April 12, 2008, while riding his motorcycle near Bullhead City. Born April 2, 1945, in Oil City, he was the son of the late George and Blanche Krug. He graduated in 1963 from Oil City High School.
Mr. Krug served in the U.S. Army in the Finance Corps and as a Military Police Sergeant during the Vietnam era. He attended Clarion University and graduated from Youngstown University.
While living in Oil City, he was well known as manager of the First Seneca Bank in Oil City, Penn.
In Kingman, Mr. Krug was president and CEO of the Mojave Federal Credit Union. He owned and operated Village Auto West in Kingman and the business was so named because of his close association with his friend Bob Fry’s Village Auto in Oil City, Penn.
An avid and knowledgeable automobile collector, Mr. Krug’s restorations won many awards at car shows throughout the Southwest.
His friends everywhere remember him as a spontaneous person who enjoyed life to the fullest and as an absolutely loyal friend to all who knew him.
Surviving are his loving companion of many years, Dianne Morin of Kingman, Ariz.; his stepsister, Betty Lorraine Ellert of Fla.; two stepchildren, Eric Steffe and Amy Hartle of Oil City, Penn.; several cousins, including Sam Krug and his wife Paulette of Ninety Six, S.C., Polly Krug Harshbarger of Mt. Dora, Fla., Tom Stuck of Avon Lake, Ohio, Bob Stuck of Carmichaels, Penn., Dr. Beverly Snyder Settlemire of The Villages, Fla., Linda Snyder of Ala., Dr. Chuck Snyder of Ohio and Tom Reagle of Fla.
Also surviving are two uncles, Elmer Mohney of Oil City and Lee Dinger of Meadville, and an aunt, Fern Snyder of Oil City, Penn.
He was a much-loved father figure to Benjamin Morin of Edgewood, N.M., and Matthew Morin of Denton, Tx., and he was “Grandpa Dick” to 12 grandchildren.
Memorial donations may be made to any of the Kingman, Ariz. dog shelters.
