Frederick Joseph Kessler

My name is Valarie Von Germeten. I did not know Mr. Kessler. I do offer my condolences for your loss. I found this name while researching Von Germeten family history. This is not the proper time. But, in due course if you are ready and able, please reach out to me on face book or on the Von Germeten Family page. Thank you.

My sincere sympathies on the loss of your dear friend, husband and father.

The Kessler Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear about Fred's passing. Your father/grandfather was the kindest and most pleasant man our family has ever known. Both your Father and Mother as well as you and your children have been a significant part of our family's life for many years. The world has lost two wonderful people now and the memories that we have of the summers spent together in that old brown house on tne beach at LBI will be treasured in our hearts forever. Our...

Clis,
I was very saddened to hear about Fred's passing. Fred was always a warm, gentle and highly intelligent person and I was always glad to have him as a member of my staff. There are lots of good memories associated with Fred and they made working at Merck so much more pleasant. Please send my condolences to his children for losing their father, but more so to you for losing a husband and a dear friend.

Fred was not only a good golfer but he had the incredible patience of a teacher to help me along with my game. I think that he was really pleased when I finally broke 100 two years ago. I...
