Obituary

Harry L. "Buddy" Kepfer, 86, of Flat Rock, NC and formerly of Bethlehem, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 12, 2023 at Life Care of Hendersonville, surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of the late Charlotte (Gerhard) Kepfer. Born in Bethlehem, he was the son of the late Harrison and Margaret (Maio) Kepfer. Harry was a graduate of Liberty High School where he was an accomplished trumpet player in the Grenadier Band. He went on to earn his Associate’s Degree from Penn State University. Harry worked as a Computer Repair Specialist for most of his life until retiring. He was an avid Philadelphia Eagles, Penn State football and Villanova basketball fan. Harry always had a smile on his face and was so easy going. Everyone he met loved Mr. K, Poppy, or Mr. Harry. He was just a good guy! To Harry, there was nothing more important than his family and he loved us all unconditionally.
