John's Mother and My Mother were friends from Baltimore each moving to Frederick. They met when John and I started 1st.grade at Parkway. John and I went through school together and remained very good friends.

John and I started 1st grade together at Carroll Parkway Elementary. We were friends from that day on. John never had a bad word about anyone; except in playing sports, he was a true competitor. When John decided to run as an alderman for the city, he reached out for some advice. He served the city well and was a true asset. I pass his house in Frederick and think of him every time.

John and I started 1st grade together at Parkway Elementary School. We became great friends through all the years. When John became interested in politics he asked for my advice and thoughts on bettering downtown Frederick. He was a great advocate for all the years as an alderman and for supporting the Carroll Creek Park. He will be missed. Dick Kessler

Dear Kreissig Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Professor Krissig was one of my Professor at Mc. He was always asking how I was doing and just always in a caring mood towards his students. We will miss him greatly. By far one of the best professors I have had at Mc. I will pray for your family during this hard time. God bless.

Dear family of Jon, I was a friend of his sister, Barbara. Jon was always smiling and in the background if Barbara or his mom need help with something. Mrs. Kreissig was our Brownie leader. I know he will be missed. I am so sorry.
