The
Kardio and Cooper Family regret to announce
the home-going of Brother Joseph Kesseh Kardio,
their husband, father, grand-father, bother,
uncle, cousin and friend.
This sad event took place on Saturday, July
17, 2010 at the East Orange General Hospital
in East Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A.
The
late Joseph Kesseh Kardio was born on March
15, 1945 in Webbo District, Eastern Province
(now renamed River Gee County, Liberia, West
Africa). He was born unto the union of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas and Martha Tarkuo Dickerson-Kardio
(both parents pre-deceased him).
Brother
Kardio was very selfless, loving, compassionate,
and a community builder. His work includes organizing
the first Toubo Youth Group and the Webbo Youth
Association. He helped formed the Liberian Students
Association of New Jersey, now known as the
Liberian Community Association of North Jersey
(LCANJ), The Liberian Christian Fellowship Church
(LCFC) in Newark, New Jersey, and the King Sao
Bosso Lodge #92 of New Jersey.
Brother
Kardio, a quiet and peaceful man, leaves to
mourn his loss: Mrs. Rose Kardio, his devoted
wife of twenty six unbroken years; his children
Alexander (pre-deceased), Marie, Mary, Elizabeth,
Ralph, Sebastine, Annie; two brothers, Mr. Sam
Kardio and Rev. Nathaniel Cooper of East Orange,
New Jersey; sister-in-law Mrs. Juanita Cooper,
