Joe was the greatest as was his wife, Joan. To know them was to know a Christian couple. My sympathy to the family and his many friends.

My wife JoAnn and I always enjoyed Joe when he visited the Mike Keppler family. He always had a smile to everyone he met. Our prayers and sympathies to this great man’s family.

Our family was back yard neighbors with Joe and his family for a few years; they were good people and swell neighbors. We will miss Joe at our church.
We used to pick up his brothers and sister on the Thrill Hill Road when they were kids - on the school bus. My Dad thought a lot of Joe Keppler and was a real good mechanic, and faithful follower of Christ.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Joe was my mom's favorite mechanic. Hugs to all of you!!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Our families go back a long way with lots of great memories. May you all find comfort in the loving arms of God, family, and friends.❤️🙏
He took such good care of my car when I was widowed. And I would usually stick my head in the house door to say hi to Joan. What a Godly couple who were outgoing about their faith.
