The late Shorewood resident and former Will Co. coroner led way for the first in-patient hospice in Illinois
On Tuesday, Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care in Joliet dedicated its drive to former CEO Duane Krieger of Shorewood on what would have been his 88th birthday. Krieger died earlier this year.
The day was partly cloudy with occasional drizzles – until the moment the sign proclaiming Honorary Duane Krieger Drive was unveiled.
