Kringen has been a dedicated worker in our community. He worked as a seismographer for his good friend Monte Erickson and worked with his brother Randy at Kringen Construction and Sidney Rental. Most recently, he was employed by Trusty T Trucking as a water hauler, but his illness now prevents him from returning to work.
His infectious laughter, heartwarming stories, and commitment to volunteering, especially with the Richland Rangers Hockey Program, has touched countless lives in Sidney. Let’s come together to give back to someone who’s given so much to our community.
