Jonathon H. Kressel, age 74 a resident of Pleasant Prairie died Wednesday December 21st, 2022, at Froedtert South St. Catherine’s.
Born on December 30th, 1947, in Kenosha he was the son of the late John and Shirley (Kulik) Kressel.

Jon worked for many years with his father in their construction/concrete business. He was later employed by the City of Kenosha in the Inspection Department, retiring in 2008.
He had an artistic mind and loved to air brush, and more recently, play music with like-minded friends on Sundays at Union Park Tavern. For many years he and Marsha would take their motorcycles out for a leisurely ride or participate in weekend Poker Runs. Jon was a regular customer at The Coffee Pot even before it was The Coffee Pot. He never met a stranger he didn’t like and loved to talk to anybody that would listen to him.

I am so sorry to hear about Jon. It’s been a long time since we saw each other. I would see him and Marsha at church festivals and other places. He always had a smile and a good word to share. We laughed when we discovered we were distant cousins. Our grandmothers were sisters. Jon was a great guy and will be missed by all who knew him.
