He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Shirley Schloesser; his sons, Jonathan (Sarah) Schloesser and Ray (Amy) Schloesser; four grandchildren who brought him great joy; his sister, Barbara (Roy) Cagle; and his brother, Don (Teresa) Schloesser. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Thomas and Bill Schloesser.
