Russell W “Bill” Kregger Loving husband, father, grandpa, and friend of Owosso passed peacefully at the age of 76 on Tuesday morning, June 15, 2021, at his home with his family at his side. Russell was born to Charles Sr and Gatha (Humphrey) Kregger on May 28, 1945 in Owosso. He served his country proudly in the US Army. He was stationed in Germany guarding the Berlin Wall. After serving his country, he made his way home where he would then find the love of his life, Linda L. Dean. They married on October 15, 1966 in Owosso. Together they raised 2 sons, Kelly and Kevin Kregger. Russ retired from the Shiawassee County Road Commission after 30 years of service to his community. He worked his way through the trenches patching roads and ended his time there as a Supervisor. In his retirement, Russ enjoyed working alongside his son, Kevin at Nelson-House Funeral Home, and transporting the horse-drawn hearse all over the state with his grandson, Kory. Russ spent time on several boards and committees throughout our community. He was always volunteering for anything to improve or help out where he could. He was also very involved in the Corunna VFW. Above all, Russ’s family was his life. From the early years of YMCA Indian Guides with his sons to many years of coaching baseball, football, or just attending their games or functions, he was always a proud supporter of his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. Russ also loved family trips to the Smoky Mountains or to the beaches of Florida.
