With Deepest Sympathy
Deepest sympathy to family and friends of Dr. Joseph Koelliker who passed away Oct. 13 at the age of 91 years. “Dr. Joe,” as he was known to us, and his wife Betty were honored as Munson Notables in 2004.
As artists and lovers of art, Dr. Joe and Betty were members of the Geauga Council of Arts & Culture and helped with displays and fund-raising. Avid supporters of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, an area of Bass Lake Park in Munson has been named the “Koelliker Fen.”
Memorial contributions may be mailed to St. Luke Episcopal Church, 11519 Wilson Mills Road, Chardon, OH 44024, or to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, 1 Wade Park Oval, Cleveland, OH 44106.
