Krieger This Lincoln City icon has left us and gone home. Ronald Leon Krieger passed away quietly and peacefully on May 21, 2013, surrounded by his loving family, at his home, after a hard fought battle with Lymphoma. He was born October 29, 1936 to Fred and Adelia "Mickey" Krieger in Portland, OR. He attended schools in the Portland area and Lincoln City, graduating in 1954. Ron married his High School sweetheart in 1955 and moved to Lincoln City where they opened the infamous Lil' Black Sambo's Restaurant. Their four children; Cappi, Ronny, Therese and Jeff, all grew up working in the restaurant, along with many other young adults in Lincoln City. While living in the Community, Ron served in many service organizations including B.P.O.E. and F.O.E. Fraternities, Air National Guard, Red Devils and many others. He also volunteered as a firefighter becoming chief. Ron's interests also included cooking, growing flowers, hunting, golfing and just having a good time wherever and with whoever he was with at the time. His sense of humor was unmatched and remained to the end. He was always thinking of others and how he could help, especially kids. He is survived by daughter, Caprice Joi, sons; Ronald Dean and Jeffrey Allen, 6 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren with 3 more on the way this year. Ex-wife Matilda continues to live in the Lincoln City area and there are many nieces and nephews, who all loved him dearly. He was predeceased by daughter Therese Ann.
