Not sure what to say?

We extend our deepest sympathy to Gerry and all the Kesslers in the loss of husband and father. With fond memories from the old neighborhood.

I offer my condolences to Gerry and the rest of Bob's family. It was good to have the chance to visit with the family Friday evening.

Jerry and Family...so sorry for your loss.

Bob was a great friend who I first met at the YMCA back in 1981. Many great road trips to PSU away games with Bob, Ario and Ernie. Alice and I were honored when he and Jerry attended our wedding. Larry and Alice Belmont

Treasured Friend

Bob and Jerry have been dear friends in many organizations and helped introduce us to Green Valley. I know we consider them dear friends and we know that Bob's life is a inspiration to his business friends and the life he would like people to remember was his love for sports, and challenges of business.

Bob's locker was next to mine at the Harrisburg YMCA. He was one of the kindest, warmest and generous gentlemen who I shall ever know.

When my wife and I got married, we needed an apartment, for only 6 months instead of a years lease. Bob said "No problem." And he also cut the rent in half!" Why? He liked me, and loved the Lord and wanted to help a young seminarian. That generosity was multiplied and spread out to many! "Well done" God bless the family!!!

Dear Kessler Family,

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. For many years Bob was a good friend, along with being a great community leader. It was always enjoyable to have conversation and spend time with him.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family for many weeks to come.
