Howard Kessler Family

Howard & Leona Kessler Family Photos

Howard Kessler & Leona Crawford were married on September 22, 1928. They had six children:

Howard Mason Kessler
Doris Irene Kessler
Paul Dean Kessler
Galen Ray Kessler
Wayne Leroy Kessler
Dale Lee Kessler

The photo on the left is a photo my father, Wayne

Kessler, has hanging in is office.

Top row: Doris Irene, Howard Mason, Paul Dean

Bottom row: Galen Ray, Dale Lee, Wayne Leroy

Middle: Leona & Howard

Dale Kessler died on March 3, 1965 at age 13, from

Leukemia. I was able to find a few photos of him.

I do not have very many early photos of Howard &

Leona's family. So many of the photos will be from

more recent times.
