A donation was made to the Memorial Methodist Church in Zion in memory of Charles. Many of his friends and students attended there after he moved to Virginia. We cherish our time with him, and his memory.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss; whether anticipated or not, it is a sad loss and time. I graduated from Wesleyan and knew Dr. Kessler in that capacity and he certainly set a fine, positive example for others to follow. My thoughts and prayers with your family.

I graduated from VWU in 1991. Dr. KESSLER was a great teacher and I have many fond memories. I recently retired after 30 years in the UMC as a pastor. Enjoyed seeing him at Annual Conferences when he could make it. Blessings to all.

Dr. Kessler was always special to me. I was his student in Biblical classes at Va. Wesleyan. The year before I went to Seminary, he taught me Greek which was required by the Seminary. As a Pastor in Newport News, I was able to visit him and Vi at the retirement facility several times. Both he and Vi were very special people. May the Lord, be your comfort and strength. Blessings, Robin

Garrett Seminary is sorry to learn of Dr. Kessler's passing. We are very proud to claim him as an alum and are grateful for his planned gift commitment.
