Our sincere sympathy to all of Joe’s loved ones. Bill & Carol Feltrop
I’m writing to offer my sincere condolences to the family of Joe Kever. I remember him as a kind neighbor to my Aunt Martha Krone in Westphalia. He and Del-Fay would stay in touch with Martha, lend a hand, and provide transportation; all of which enhanced her lifestyle. Joe was a good man. May he rest in peace. -Elaine Bode-Oliver
