In memoriam

Keszler
Gregory Keszler, SD'70, was born October 7, 1945 to Irene and John Keszler. In 1963, Greg and his brother Gary, went to Pacific Union College, Angwin. He was accepted to the School of Dentistry while in his third year of college. While attending PUC he met Joan, and they were married four years later on August 13, 1967. The couple made their home in Loma Linda until he finished dentistry in 1970—the family then moved back to Lodi where he opened a practiced dentistry for 30 years.

The Keszler's first son, Mark, was born during Dr. Keszler's junior year in dental school; and Robert was born in 1972.

Dr. Keszler was a member of the American and California Dental Associations and the San Joaquin Dental Society; and a fellow of Pierre Fauchard Academy.

The family were members of the Fairmont Seventh-day Adventist Church where he became involved teaching Sabbath School classes for children. He was also involved in home and school, and many more family projects. They enjoyed ski trips, choir trips and stints on the school board.

Dr. Keszler considered his patients dear friends and family. He loved Carmel Bay and the ocean where he often visited with family. He enjoyed camping, fishing and taking family vacations. After being diagnosed with lung cancer he went through chemotherapy and radiation at Stanford University. As the cancer progressed it became clear that this was one battle he could not win. So he went on enjoying life by going on long drives, sailing, and wheelchair rides all over Carmel.

A friend, Tom Hillier, took Greg flying in his plane only a week before his death. Greg's last outing with his boys was in Pebble Beach to watch the golfers go by at a tournament.
Dr. Keszler passed away February 7. He is survived by his wife, Joan; two sons: Mark and Robert; his parents, John and Irene Keszler; a brother, Bruce Keszler; a sister, Sharon Blaufus; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
