Peter Krietel, age 84 passed away in his home February 3, 2020 in Pilot Grove, Missouri. He was born July 19, 1935 to Lorenz and Rose Krietel in Solen, North Dakota.
Peter is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Wanda Krietel; his only surviving brother Felix (Sonny) Krietel as well as his MANY children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nephews and nieces.
Peter served in the U.S. Marine Corp where he fought for his country in Korea and was honorably discharged after 4 years of service. He spent many years in one of his favorite places....Alaska, where he was married to his first first love, the late Virginia Lee Moen. He later moved to Seattle, Washington. There he knew he had met the second and final love of his life, Wanda Sue Wood, the day she smacked him on the hand with a big metal serving spoon leaving him with a permanently cracked knuckle, which he has carried with pride ever since. Together they moved to Pilot Grove, Missouri where he enjoyed his days surrounded by his loving, large and ever growing extended family and friends. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, being with family and friends and helping those around him. He was, in his own words, "a jack of all trades and master of none".
All that knew him, young and old, called him Husband, Son, Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and Friend. He has been a piece of so many peoples lives and he is and always will be loved and missed by all who knew him. We know he is now at peace, hanging out with all that have passed before him and is looking down upon us all and taking a little time to catch that one big one, that got away.
An outdoor family gathering will be planned when weather permits, to celebrate the life of Peter Krietel.
