The Kiefer family and their beautiful home will always be such a great memory in my life. As a child my mother and father would pack all of us in our VW bug and head over to the Kiefer’s for a family style dinner. We always had such fun with Betty, John and all of the kids. John was such a kind loving man who always made our visits more fun. He is probably with my Dad right now laughing about old times. To all of you I wish nothing but peace knowing your Dad is looking down and smiling.

What a wonderful man! John helped my husband with his film business. Whenever he stopped by, he brought such good cheer to our home. His intelligence, dignity, sense of humor, good heart, and excellent work will never be forgotten. Our love and sympathy to his beautiful wife and family.
