History
3
Johnny Krieger was a well-known resident of Churubusco and an all around nice guy. Born with Down syndrome, he was raised at home by his parents instead of being institutionalized, as was common at the time. The community embraced him, and he helped many Churubusco businesses by doing odd jobs. He especially treasured his association with the Churubusco Police Dept., Medic 21, Churubusco Fire Dept., and Whitley County Sherriff's Dept.
