 David Vance Kruger was born November 30, 1935, in Rochester to Alvin and Bernice (Brown) Kruger. David stayed with his grandparents, Vance and Ethel Brown, at their farm in Chatfield, as his mother had severe arthritis and it was hard for her to take care of him. David attended grade school in Rochester and graduated from Rochester High School in 1953. He attended Rochester Junior College in 1954 and 1955 then going on to the University of Minnesota in 1956 and graduating in 1957. He entered the Armed Services on January 8, 1958, with active duty in Germany until October 7, 1959. He spent four years in the Reserves. He was very active in the Elks Drum and Bugle Corp for many years (he loved to play his bugle). In 1960, he started working for National Tea in Owatonna and Rochester. In 1970 started working for Erdman’s at different stores as Produce Manager, Assistant Store Manager, and Manager. In 1971, married Evonne Sigrist at the Little Brown Church in Iowa. When Erdman’s sold, he started working at Menards and retired from there in 2000 and moved to Wabasha on the river. He enjoyed hunting and fishing all of his life with family and friends.
