Condolences

  • Michelle Barons Smith

    sending deepest condolences to the family. He was a great teacher and coach who touched many lives… You are in many peoples thoughts and prayers.

  • I was saddened to hear that Coach had passed. He will be missed. He impacted many lives.

  • Mr. Kepler was my math teacher at Lakeview HS in Battle Creek, MI 1968-1970. I have always wanted to thank him for allowing me to work at my own pace at the back of the class, blowing the curve for the rest of the students. I have often thought of him in my current occupation which involves a lot of math skills in computer programming. Wish I’d known he’d moved to AZ, I would surely have visited him. I will visit him now in my dreams. My “To Sir With Love” teacher”. I loved you Mr. Hepler and still think of you often, truly. Rest in Peace.

  • WHAT A GREAT TEACHER AND FRIEND
