Warren H. Kresge, Jr., 89, formerly of Upper Nazareth Township, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth. He was the beloved husband of the late Anna L. (Nordoi) Kresge to whom he was married 65 years before her passing in 2023.
Born in Fountain Hill, Warren was a son of the late Warren H. Sr. and Anna (Transue) Kresge. He attended Nazareth High School and honorably served in the United States Army during the Korean War. Warren had a successful career with the former Pfizer Pigments plant in Easton which spanned more than 30 years. He held various positions with the pigment company before retiring in 1996 as supervisor of maintenance, a tribute to his tremendous work ethic.
Following his retirement, he enjoyed an incredibly active lifestyle of traveling with his wife, Anna, which included trips to Alaska, Hawaii, Germany, France, and Italy. An avid bowler and player of pinochle, Warren was a member of the pinochle club at East Lawn Social Club and bowled in multiple leagues throughout the years. His competitive spirit also led him to playing quoits. Warren also took great pride in maintaining his lawn and was quite the gardener. His family, however, was most important to him, and Warren never missed an opportunity to attend the sporting events of his grandchildren.
He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, Nazareth.
Survivors: A devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Warren will be greatly missed by his three sons, Warren "Skip" Kresge and wife, Donna, of Stroudsburg, Mike Kresge and wife, Susan, of Harrisburg, and Steve Kresge and wife, Maria, of Nazareth; three grandchildren, Chad Kresge of Ackermanville, Mark Kresge and wife, Amanda, of Brockway, PA, and Katie Kresge of Allentown; three great-grandchildren, Chase, Riley and Harper Kresge; two brothers, Melvin Kresge and wife, Laraine, of Pen Argyl, and Randy Kresge of East Stroudsburg; two sisters, Mary Peters of Nazareth, and Jacquelynn Emerson of Missouri; along with many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his wife, Anna, he was predeceased by a brother, Eugene P. Kresge, Sr.; and a sister, LaRue A. Trimmer.

I met Mr. Kresge a few times back in the day when I worked at Pfizer. I also briefly knew his son, Warren, when we were kids together in elementary school.
Farewell, Mr. Kresge!
