Paul J. Koessler

To the entire Koessler Family,

I am very sad for your loss. He was a well loved man. We are all a little better and wiser by his presence in our lives.

TO ALL THE KOESSLERS...PLEASE ACCEPT MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YOU ARE ALL IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. FONDLY, LIZ SCOTT

Joe, Eric, Joanne, and family,
We are out of town but just found out about the death of your father. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children at this difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Dearest Koessler Family,
Our deepest sympathies during this time of mourning. I have the fondest memories of Paul during the family days on Old Lakeshore Rd. and remember what a great father he was to his kids and his neices and nephews (my high school classmates). He always commanded the utmost respect among the kids in the Lakeshore Community. His calm and unflappable manor in dealing with the years of high school shenanigens was memorable. Joanne's late winter's night return from a date comes to mind....as the unassuming couple skidded down the ice covered driveway - THROUGH the garage door and into the family cars in the garage. So much for not waking the parents.... Paul will be remembered as a pilar in his community, an icon in the printing industry and "Mr. Canisius" emeritus to all who knew his generosity and commitment to the christian world. On behalf of the Dahm family, we just lost one of our fondest WNY sons...but his legacy and the memories always remembered.

To the Koessler Family,
I met Paul through a mutual Friend, an employee for many many years at Greater Buffalo Press. I am sorry for your loss,
I am forever greatful for the Friends I have come to know because of Paul.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for your father for several years under at both Koessler Graphics and Alphagraphics. I always had the utmost respect for your father's integrity, work ethic, generosity and dedication to the local community. He will be sorely missed in the Buffalo-Niagara Region.

Joe, Gretchen and the entire Koessler family -
A classic gentleman by every definition. Your kind and generous father will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Niscah and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was a great advocate for Buffalo and worked tirelessly for our community. But I also know that, for all of his work, his greatest legacy was his kindness and humanity. He was a wonderful man who will be sorely missed. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Sincerely,
Ashley

Dear Sue and Paul and family,
I wish to express my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. He was a wonderful man, a great leader - always so gentle, kind and helpful. I had the priviledge of speaking to him from time to time now that I work at Canisius College and we always updated each other if we had any news of GBP employees.
May your memories give you comfort in the days ahead. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Sally Guerin

Dear Joe,

We are very sorry for your loss.
