Obituary of Joe Kessler

Joseph Kessler- died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, June 18, 2013. He is survived by his wife Loretta, his children, Gwen Maroon and Herb Maroon, and his grandchildren, Misha, Lauren and Matt. Joe was born in Suquamish Washington in 1928, and grew up in California. After retirement from the General Telephone Company in California, he moved to Allyn, Washington, establishing a concrete ornament business on Highway 3 and lived there for more than a quarter century. Even though he could be an “ornery old coot”, he made many friends in the area and will be missed. A special thank you to the nursing staff at the Alpine Way Retirement Apartments who were simply sensational in their care and compassion during his final days. At Joe’s request, there will be no memorial service.
