Preliminary investigations indicate that Kurecki was attempting to cross the highway while using a walker when he was struck by a vehicle.

Highway 90 is a heavily traveled roadway, especially during early morning hours when commuters begin their day.

Friends and neighbors say his presence will be deeply missed in the community.
