William KRUSE

KRUSE, William (Bill) - Bill Kruse passed away on July 9, 2008 at the Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary after a busy 87 years.

He leaves behind a legacy of successful work with Imperial Oil, home renovations, a gallery of photographic work and a family that has been influenced beyond measure by his character and work ethic. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Dawn; his sister Isabel Mitchell (Henry); his daughter Ann Pate (Howard); son Guy Kruse (Jean); grandchildren Jason Pate (Laura Rannellucci); Lesley Pate; Cade Kruse; Dannon Kruse and great grandson, Matthew Pate.
