Robert J. Kresse, 93, who devoted much of his life to community service

Fondly remembering Robert Kresse today!❤️ Bob’s love and commitment to historic preservation was undeniably inspirational. Bob worked tirelessly to rescue the St Mary of Sorrows church from demolition in the 1980’s and became the driving force to restore the building and bring purpose back to his childhood parish, now known as the King Urban Life Center. Bob saw the center as a beacon of hope for the children within the neighborhood and today that vision holds true. We are indebted to Bob—an agent of change and hope, and whose devotion to the King Urban Life Center shows us all what is possible when you have the courage to dream!🙌🏻

We send condolences to the entire Kresse family, especially his beloved wife MaryAnn Kresse, who has been by Bob’s side for 56 years, and has also generously devoted time and her expertise to the mission of KULC.

Kresse, whose outsized, civic-minded commitment to Buffalo over four decades was exemplified by his efforts on behalf of early child education, the East Side and preservation, died at 93.

In response to the growing need for PPE to help combat the spread of COVID-19 in our East Side neighborhoods, the King Urban Life Center is hosting a PPE giveaway, Monday, June 29, 2020 from 2:00pm-4:00pm!

With the resurgence of COVID-19 cases around the country we recognize there is an even greater need for PPE, before families gather for the 4th of July holiday.
