Gerhard Kasischke Obituary

KASISCHKE, Gerhard Friedrich Wilhelm

Passed away peacefully in Dayton, Ohio, on March 21, 2021. He was born in Goritz, Germany, on March 1, 1947, and came to the United States in 1955. He was a lifelong

resident of Beavercreek, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his parents, Friedrich and Hilde Kasischke. He is survived by his two loving sisters, Heidi

Kasischke-Gross and Gudrun Miller, brothers-in-law, Kenneth Gross and David Miller, and their children, Freddie and Eva Kasischke-Gross, and step-niece and nephew, Sophia Gipson and Harley Gross. Gerhard was a graduate of Beavercreek High School and The Ohio State University. He earned a

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering. He worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for 33 years designing

computer systems for fighter aircraft, among other high-tech projects. He was a GS14, and served in a management role. He traveled the world and was an avid skier. He went to

Europe at least 10 times with our father and the Kittyhawk Ski Club. He loved to sail and owned a boat in Galveston Texas. But most of all he loved his family and friends! He had a bone crushing hug! You felt his hugs for days! He was loved by many, but we were lucky enough to be his family. He had a great love for life. He was always positive and one of the most generous people anyone could ever know. We will be

celebrating his beautiful life at Giovanni's in Fairborn at a

future date. Condolences may be sent to the family at

I noted previously that Gerhard was one of the most intelligent I have known. One day when I walked next door to see him, he was building a small scale geodesic dome. I had never heard of it before and when he explained it and its physics, I was amazed. And when finished, it performed just as he said!
But at another time, I got permission from my mother to get a ride on his motor scooter that he liked to ride. For an eleven year-old kid, that was also pretty amazing - and fun. Gerhard was smiling the whole time.

I am so sorry to hear of Gerhard’s passing. I send my condolences to Gudrun, Heidi and Family. Having lived next door, I was always interested in what project he was working on and he would always share his interests and knowledge in fascinating ways - Gerhard was one of the most intelligent people I ever knew, as well as friendly, kind and positive! Though we did not interact over the last many years, he is a person I will always remember and share wonderful stories of growing up next door to your family.
