Accolades are pouring in from across the country and around the world for a statesman, diplomat, academic, author and perhaps above all else a humble family man from New Braunfels who sought to protect the downtrodden and improve lives everywhere he touched them — from here to Africa and beyond.

Former U.S. Ambassador and Senator Robert Charles Krueger passed away at home in New Braunfels Saturday morning with his wife Kathleen at his side.
