    I just learned of this news and am so heartbroken I was unable to attend his services. I worked at Royals Stadium in the 80’s and had the privilege of helping Mr. and Mrs. Droegemeier at the ballpark when Mrs. Droegemeier had difficulties getting around. It was a true honor and I loved seeing both of them at the games. A true gentleman.
