Thank you to the staff (past and present) of The Fresenius Dialysis Center of Neenah. You were so good to Dad for 5 years.
"Dad, through your example you taught us girls to work hard, appreciate what we have, and to take care of it. You were a good husband, dad, grandpa, great grandpa, neighbor and friend. Anyone who needed help could always count on you. Your legacy has carried on for three generations and will go on for many more to come." With love - Your Girls.Kessler Funeral Home
