“How we deal with Death is at least as important as how we deal with life.”
Leonard “Len” Kessler, 68, left us for his next journey on January 29th, 2023, at Hospice of Cincinnati Blue Ash. Len was born to parents Frederick “Fritz” and Pat Kessler on March 27, 1954. He attended LaSalle High School and graduated in 1972. Len married Carol Davidson on August 8th, 1976, in Cincinnati, OH. He worked as an engineer for about 40 years, before retiring around 2018. In his free time, he enjoyed riding motorcycles. Len also loved music, watching football, building things, and working on his computer or other electronics. Of his several hobbies, he instilled a love of several, including music and motorcycles, into both of his children.
Len was preceded in death by his parents, Frederick and Patricia Kessler. He leaves behind his loving wife, Carol, daughter Caroline Kessler of New York, and son Andrew (Sara) Kessler. Len got great pleasure from his grandchildren Sophia and Frederick.
A memorial service will be held at 12 p.m. on Saturday, February 4th, 2023, at Rest Haven Mausoleum. A celebration of life will follow the service at Swaim Park Lodge, 7650 Cooper Road, Montgomery OH 45242. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the charity of one’s choice.

February 3, 2023 at 3:21 amI am so very, very sorry and so very sad that Len has left us. I believe, though, that he will forever be in our hearts — and especially in the hearts of all of those whom he loved so dearly.
While I didn’t know Len for long, it was always beautifully evident to me how very much he loved and cherished his family.
Len was so in love with his wife Carol! And so proud of — and happy because of — his so very much loved children, Caroline and Andrew.
I got to know Len and his family through Carol’s brother Ed, who often invited me to join him on his visits to Ed’s and Carol’s mom Alice, along with visits to Len’s and Carol’s home. The Kessler home was always filled with love and joy, happy cats and dogs, and loving people.
Len was always so very kind and welcoming to me on my visits. And he was always so supportive of his brother-in-law Ed. Thank you Len! And thank you to Carol and her family for caring for Len as he cared for all of you throughout his life.
Wishing all of Len’s family and friends, peace of mind and heart.

February 4, 2023 at 2:36 pmI say goodbye to my very good friend today. You could not ask for a better person to take care of. He never complained of anything. I enjoyed the time I had with him and his family. He will be deeply missed. Thank you for being who you were and may God heal your families pain.
