"A fantastic person and world class educator! McFarland High School is better off today because of your leadership. You taught us how to relate to people, all while staying on task and being responsible. Always one with a joke, we?ll never forget ?knot hole softener? or the ever famous ?board stretcher?. You treated us like people, not students. For that we are forever grateful!"
In loving memory of
Kevin "Moose" Krinke

He taught at Wisconsin Heights and McFarland High Schools where he headed the latter's award-winning Tech Ed Dept.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing cards, tall tales and questionable jokes. He was always ready to meet a new friend or pull a prank on an old one.
