WESTERLO – Edmund A. Keppler, who loved his farm life, died on Tuesday, March 22, 2016. His family wrote that he “went home to be with our Lord and Savior.” He was 75.

“He loved living on the land, and working outdoors,” said his sister, Dorothy Leicht. “He was friendly to everyone he met. He was a very sweet person.”

Mr. Keppler was the beloved son of the late Fred and Mary Keppler, and the third of seven children.

“His dear brother-in-law, William P. Leicht, ...was his buddy and was a great part of his life,” his family wrote in a tribute.
