A Message from his son Rob,

"Hello all, My name is Rob Krueger, the founder of Broadway Knights. I truly hope you all have an amazing time at A Night at the Charleston concert benefitting Tara's Chance. I must say, every time I do one of these concerts, there is so much stress leading up to the concert, well for the worst possible reason, that stress is very secondary. On Saturday, June 13, my dad, my hero, lost his fight with lymphoma. Please forgive any typos, grammatical errors or simple bad writing, I am not a writer, but this is coming from my heart. My dad did everything in his power to make life better for my brother and I. He genuinely lived to make things better for people around him. He always felt that was the most he could offer people was to make the moments they were together better.

Without getting into crazy personal details, my love of music is from my dad. In planning these concerts I have been blessed to do for great organizations, I have ALWAYS designed the setlist with "would my dad like this" in my mind. In every non musical theatre concert I did, there was a Queen song (his favorite band) in every single show. That was always for him. As years went on and he was unable to come to my shows, I would watch the videos with him later...a son looking for dad's approval. Just last week I secured a friend who's a filmmaker to film this concert for me, fully planning to watch it with him, but now that will not happen. The weekend was spent crying and reminiscing and reminding myself he is in a better place. This cast and creative team has been absolutely amazing...whether they know or want this, I will forever have a bond and special place in my heart to each and every one of them. When my dad found out Wednesday the treatments were not working, he opted for home hospice. Doctors said 2 weeks to 4 months. He told me he wanted me to finish this concert as he knew it was dedicated to him and was looking forward to watching it. As i debated going back to rehearsals, my brother informed me that dad even told him to make sure I see this show through. After I knew about my dad choosing hospice, I asked the cast if they would mind if I added his favorite song...at the last minute after they have been learning all this music...no hesitation, they said they were there for me...a very special group of people. I was so excited that we would watch one last concert together and he would be surprised I added his favorite song. Little did I know how fast things would change. In his last moments of consciousness after my brother and I told him what we needed to, I told him we added his favorite song to the concert just for him and I heard it and it sounded great. He moaned “play it” and I put my phone up to his ear and played love of my life for him as we squeezed each others hands, slowly his grip faded as he fell into his final sleep. This is so hard to write and tonight will be so so hard for me to watch but also very uplifting knowing it's for him. Being surrounded by friends old and new will be huge. Thank you so much for sharing this memory that I will take with me to my grave. And to my dad....Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, I wish I could have done better. I wish I could have been the son you deserved. I know these attempts to honor you aren't much, but you always told me you loved them and how proud you were. Please keep telling me that so I start believing. Thank you for encouraging me with these shows knowing the monies raised were for a great cause (He loved Bella's videos from our previous shows). I promise I'll do my best to make you proud and to make everyone I come i contact with feel loved and appreciated like you did to everyone you met. Theres a reason the doctors and nurses loved you and many called you their favorite! All my love Dad, Robby"

In Loving Memory of Robert “Bob” Krueger
