Joe Krier Memoriam



IIADA Chairman of the Board and Past President, Joe Krier and his wife Barbara will be remembered for being generous, high-spirited individuals who touched the lives of many. Joe owned Joe's Auto Sales in Indianapolis and co-owned Connersville GM Super Center in Connersville. Barb was a kitchen designer and had her own firm, Design Source. 

Joe and Barb were both lifelong volunteers. Joe was a weekly server at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen and a member of Angel Flight, a national organization of pilots who use their private planes to transport sick children to hospitals for medical treatment. Barb delivered communion to nursing home residents and served as Confirmation sponsor. She and Joe were pre-nuptial counselors at their church, and volunteered regularly for events at the Knights of Columbus. 

Barb and Joe passed away on Sunday, January 1, 2006, in Dawson, Georgia. They are survived by their children, Theresa Rose, Andrew Joseph, and Matthew James. 


Joe and Barb will be remembered for what they gave. In their careers, they gave with all their energy and heart to do what they loved. They gave their community compassion, time, and commitment. They gave all who knew them the inspiration to live with kindness and enthusiasm. They gave their children the assurance of their unconditional love and the tools to truly love others. ~ We will miss you, Joe and Barb ~
