Edward "Len" Dressel Jr.

Ed was a great guy. I only knew him a couple of years, but every time we got together he was friendly, had a warm handshake, a great sense of humor ("Portuguese Sailor" was what he called my song "Sailor" that I used to play on my guitar at parties) and was a good man who died far too young. I have remained good friends with his dear Karen ("BBS! Right on!") and I trust her like a sister. God bless the Dressel family.

Dear Karen and all the Dressel family; words of comfort are hard to express at a time of such great loss, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. It has been a pleasure to work with Len over the past 10 years through Ingersoll Rand. I have the highest respect for Len. Some of the legacy he leaves behind is that of a dedicated, caring, dependable friend and colleague. May God bless and comfort you all.

Dear Karen: So very sorry to hear of Len's passing so suddenly. You & your family are in my prayers. May you sense God's comfort & strengthening through this time and as time progresses. Much love to you-- Debra B.(KTC)

I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:7-8

To my dear husband,

I know you are in a better place laughing, running and enjoying the best.....just as you did in life. I will miss you forever, however I will be strong for those that you left behind.

With love,

Karen

I will always remember Len as he was at his last birthday party: full of life and laughter, wit and charm. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and the consumate professional. My heartfelt condolences to my long time friend, Karen, the elder Dressels, brother Larry, son Jeff and the grandchildren.

Len was a wonderfull person to work with. He always had to mess with us when he called. I never got the chance to personally meet him but I grew very fond of him from our phone conversations. Karen I will keep your family and friends in my prayers. He will be greatly missed around here.

Karen and Family - Deepest sympathy for you and the times ahead. Keep remembering the good times...these will help you. Please let me know if the Kingston family can help in any way.
