To The Kloepfer Family,
We extend our heartfelt condolences. We will remember the good times that Gary had and we will cherish that he was able to attend our wedding reception in June. There were many laughs and good times shared at the Kloepfer Family pool as You always welcomed the group that would descend upon the backyard when everyone was ‘home’. Gary was always so proud of each of your Children, but I won’t forget how he was especially beaming with pride on Jen’s wedding day. The memory of Gary will live on through those that keep it alive.
Love and Prayers, Heidi Klopp and Adam Blanchard
