Kotesky of 4966 Montcalm Avenue Thursday, October 26, at about 12:30 p.m. The fire was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Klahn who live within one-half mile of the Kotesky residence. After calling the Lowell and Alto fire departments, the Klahns went to the house and searched for Mr. Kotesky, age 79, who was known to be at home at that time. They were unable to enter one room on the first floor, which officers later designated as his bedroom. Investigators feel that the fire started in this room and spread throughout the house finally burning the structure to the ground. Mr. Kotesky lived with his son, Frank, 41, who was away at work at the time of the blaze. Besides Frank, Mr. Kotesky is survived by another son, George of New Troy; one daughter, Mrs. Donald Stasser of Chicago, Illinois, and 6 grandchildren. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Roth Funeral Home in Lowell with the Rev. Rudy Wittenbach officiating. Interment followed in South Boston Cemetery, Boston Township.
