Chief Engineer Kenneth Marcelle passed away

[Russ]

According to an article in the December 1984 issue of ASC Soundings, Kenneth Marcelle started sailing as an Oiler with REISS in 1953 on the J. L. Reiss.

He worked for ASC he was C/E on the M/V SAM LAUD when I was on her nice guy from sturgeon bay and a PACKER fan

[Reiss Recollections]

Quite sure he started his sailing days with Reiss in the mid-fifties and then went to ASC with the selling of the fleet in 1969. I've seen his name on Reiss Thanksgiving menus and crew lists, but never met him.

The recent death of Kenneth Marcelle from Door County, Wi was just in the local Door County Advocate. He retired after 40 plus years as a Chief Engineer on the lakes. Does anyone remember or know who he sailed for and which ship he was on. Would like to do a follow-up on this. TIA

Found this on the BGSU website.
