Billy Lee,
I will never forget the honor, laughter, love and joy you brought into my life.  I know it was Divine intevention.  You taught me about love and my purpose for our life together.  I will always be grateful and I thank God for you.  I will always love you and celebrate your life.  I look forward to the day we will be joined together again! I know you are waiting for me, Thank you.  By God's design, our spirits are joined together, forever. Thank you for staying close by me. Lovingly, your Laura May

Kris,
I'm sorry it took me so long to know the death of your dad.  We have so many great memories of all of us Centennial kids and your father.  I'm honored to have known him since I was 6 years old.  I'll never forget him on the sidelines at Field Day rooting all of us kids on.  Even though I moved the summer going into 8th grade from our neighborhood and transferred from Bill Reed to Conrad Ball, I was greeted by your father's great smile and laugh.  My nickname ""Pham"" started as well.  I'll never forget the constant teasing and questions from him esp the constant inquiries as to when you and I were going to get married!  I couldn't have survived gym w/out his sarcasim and personality to push me through (and well, the many times he sent me to Mc Donalds to get him something to eat while everyone else did their mile run). I know how close the two of you were. I know you'll cherish every moment you had w/ him.  Though the two of us are all grown up and doing our own thing, always know (even 40 years from now) I'll always be here for you, brother.  Much love....

Mr.Krigbaum was a funny and was the coolest teacher at school. i didnt like gym much but he made it funny to be in. He would always call me and my sister by our last name Duncan and when we would walk in to the gym he would ask us where his donuts are lol.:) Mr.Krigbaum made a lot of kids want to come to school because he made it fun. He will be missed so much by all.
from Kathy Duncan

My deepest condolences are with the family and friends during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are for all of you. I'm glad I had the chance to meet Billy and some of the people who meant so very much to him, thru Richard Brassfield. I could see that he really enjoyed life and valued his relationships. Only wished that I could have been able to spend more time visiting.  Rest in peace Billy, We love you!!

Kris,   We were so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  He was a very sweet man.  We have many fond memories of LHS tennis.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Phil & Colette Boltz

A friend is a person you can tell anything to and never fear of being ridiculed.  You were one of the best friends I ever had and you will always be in my mind and my heart.  I pray that you are now resting without worries or pain.  Thank you for all the great times and memories........you will be sorely missed.

my condolences to family and friends. I went to high school with Bill and enjoyed his sense of humor, and had not seen him until our 30th class reunion in 2000. having read thru the entries here I can tell Bill did some good in this old world. rest in peace Billy.

I missed Bills last visit to Quincy, it was my loss.  I'm sure all his High School buds here wish his family well.

Laura & family, 
We are very sorry for your loss but are relieved that Mr. Krigbaum is no longer suffering.  It was our great pleasure to have him as our teacher in school. We have been blessed by your friendship, Laura and for that, we are so grateful. Our prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. 
Take care, 
Paul Burdick and family

I am really sad to hear of the passing.  My heart and prayers are with the family.

Walt was like another father to me.  He was always looking to make people laugh and usually succeeded.  Walt was a kind man and a devoted father.  I wish that I had gotten the chance to see him recently after I moved away from Colorado.  Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. God bless.

May God Bless You and all the beautiful works done by you for others.

Billy was a high school friend and neighbor.  Keeping the family in my prayers.

To the man who helped me raise my 6 children, God Bless you. You will never know how your actions have helped them all grow up to be very responsible members of our community.

I feel honored to have known Mr. Krigbaum.  My fondest memories of Con Ball are of Mr. Krigbaum's class.  Junior High was not easy for me and PE was almost unbearable but Mr. Krigbaum always made it a positive experience. Kris, you have my most sincere sympathy. Seeing you today and seeing the man you have become is a glowing tribute to the man your father was.

The 6 Bussers have all loved and the who we all think is the best teacher in the world. He always knew how to turn any frown upside down. We will all miss you and I will keep you in my prayers.

Mr. Krebaum, thank you for being my teacher. You were very funny in class, and seemed more of a friend then anything else. I hope you lived a good life and I am sorry if me and Ben caused you any truble. your old student,
Jamie Rene Jackson

A man who always made class enjoybale to be in and made us looking forward to coming. He was a great teacher and befriended us all.

Kris,
 Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Some of Steve's fondest childhood memories are times that he spent with you and your Dad.
 Dave, Pam, & Steve

Billy had many special gifts. One was that you only had to talk with him for a few minutes to feel like you had made a new friend. Although I'd have to say that Scrabble spelling probably wasn't one of his gifts. I'll miss him.
I send my thoughts and prayers to Laura and the family. Via con Dios

billy will always be in the thoughts and prayers of all his friends and famliy in quincy il. 
may god take care of him. billy was like an artist he put a paint brush storke in everyones life.that he came in contack with.

We want Walt's family to know how very special he was to us.  He was like our family - he sent a picture once of he and Laura - which I have on my refrigerator because I told Walt, I put all my kid's pictures on my refrigerator.  He laughed at that.  He was loved and will be missed by so many people.  You have our deepest love and sympathy.

Bill was not only our friend but was our brother-in-law. We shared good times and bad. We will always remember him for his great sense of humor. He will always be remembered and greatly missed by our family with, whom we shared many year of our lives with.
Loving Memories,
Shaun, Vicky(Wacky) and Alec Reents

My heart goes out to his family during this tearful time. I know that he is up in heaven watching over all of us. God Bless.

My name's Tereasa Moreno and I just wanted to send my sincere apoligizes for you lose. Mr. Krigbaum was gym teacher in 6th grade. He's actually the whole reason I got into lifting. He actually puched me to press over 750 pounds and I continue to lift to this day. He always made me laugh and had one of the warmest hearts from anyone I had ever met. He teachings helped me through High school soccer and strength training for that and made me realize what I really want to do which is Sports physical therapy. Again, I want to say I'm sorry for your lose but Mr. Krigbaum touched so many lives and I feel blessed to have known him. Thank you for your time.
 Tereasa Moreno

Billy was a special man, he was not only my friend but, a great brother-Inlaw for 32 years. He made a profound impact to our lives growing up, always incouraging us to go for the gusto. I will always Love and Cherish our times together. Rest in peace Bro! We will miss you.
 DeeDee,Kevin and Kaitlyn Carr

What a valiant battle he fought!  My sincerest sympathies to Laura and the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Krigbaum family- and you also Laura- Not only will his loved ones miss him, but Walt will also be missed by greatly by the tennis community.
Dean and Nancy Pflughoeft

Mr. Krigbaum was a very special teacher to me when I was at Con Ball.  He had a way of making you feel special and cared about.  I remember going back for the first time after I moved to NJ and he remembered my face and my name and gave me a great big hug.  He truly was a special man.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends during this difficult time.  May God comfort you all in this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I had to really stop and gather my thoughts to sit down and post here.  I know my entry won't be as short as the others here but that's because Mr. Krigbaum is a man who's legacy is LARGE-!  I first met and got to know Mr. Krigbaum 21 years ago as his student.  As a freshman in 1988, it was, at times, the encouragment, acceptance and guidance of my teacher/friend Mr. Krigbaum that really made such a profound impact on me.  He took the time to talk to me and reminded me that I was not alone in this world.  He always encouraged us in ways that were so healthy and positive.  Whether it was to get in those crunches or to ""shout us home"" as we rounded the last bit of track on our ""mile run"". He met us with strength and kindness at each turn.  Each one of us mattered and he never waivered in that.  I'm thankful that over the years I went back and visited.  He always had the same welcoming smile and genuine interest.  Mr. Krigbaum was more than just our coach or our gym teacher or a faculty member.  He was with great pride and honor our friend and a true friend at that.  Mr. Krigbaum, you have touched more lives than I can say.  All of us have been blessed by having known you.  Thank you Mr. Krigbaum....and now finally you know all of the gratitude that I never fully got to express.  We'll love and miss you forever.  In your honor...the mighty thunderbirds RULE-!  May God bless the entire Krigbaum family.

Mr.Krigbaum was a great teacher.I had him back in the mid eighties and was saddened by news of his passing.

Walt coached me from 83-86. He was always laughing and made all those practices fun. I took 2nd in state in 84 for wrestling thanks to him. I have many good memories of my youth in Colorado and he is one of them. I am sorry to hear that he has passed. My thoughts are with his family.

Kris,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow...
Much Love
Chad

Mr.Krigbaum was a great teacher, and he made alot of people laugh... and he did alot of great stuff with students.. He left us too early... He will be missed very much.

Coach Krigbaum always supported every student that came into contact with him. He always taught and guided with amazing passion. He will always be remembered as one of the most loved educators in Loveland. Thank you so much for all of your wise words!
Sincerely,
Daniel Joiner

Even though I wasn't his student, Mr. Krigbaum taught me several lessons that I will never forget in my life. He taught me to never give up and to follow my dreams. Conrad Ball will never be the same without him.

This man made a difference!! Both of my children had him as a teacher and had nothing bad to say about him (and you know that's rare in a teacher/child relationship). His life may of been short but it was spent giving of himself to others. God Bless you all
Pam Wilson

Krigbaum was my P.E. teacher at Conball back in 1995.  I will always remember him for his amazing stories and friendly sense of humor.  He was like no other teacher, you could actually talk to him.  He could make you laugh no matter what type of day you were having.  He will always be loved and greatly missed by his students.  God bless.

I have known ""Krigbaum"" for 30 years. We attended CSU together,worked at Vickers gas station, played tennis together. Walt is a good man, a good friend, and a good heart. The many days we spent from sun-up to sundown just playing and laughing will forever be apart of me. I love ya Krigbaum, and thank you for being my best friend...Joy aka ""KOSKIE

Krigbaum was a truely awesome guy, he always made me laugh, and showed that he truely did care about me.  All of his students were his kids and he treated us that way.  I was truely blessed to have him in my life.  I only wish i would have got to tell him how much i love him and how much of a difference he made in my life. I have peace that he's with God now and he won't be suffering any longer.  I love you Krigbaum!
