Joseph Klope Obituary
His love, pride and unwavering support were never doubted by his children, Christine (Paul) Greeley of Mass., Susan Klope of New York, Joanne (Daniel) Shamp of Florida (formerly of Bath), Joseph Chester (Chet) Klope, Jr. (Margot) of New Jersey and Aileen (Edwin) Niehaus of Akron. He was an adoring ``Bompa' of 10 including his local grandchildren Mark (Jessica) Shamp, Stephen (Shannon) Shamp, Samuel and Haydn Niehaus and great-grandfather of six including Alexa, Tyler and Logan Shamp.
He was a proud member of the Portage Lakes Kiwanis Club, and will be affectionately remembered for ``Joe's Joke' told to generate contributions at their meetings.
Relatives and friends may call at the Bryce Funeral Home, Inc., 276 Pawling Avenue, Troy, N.Y., on Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. Funeral service will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. Interment will be at Elmwood Hill Cemetery Troy.

My sincere condolences to all the Klope family. I felt a great love and respect for your father, and I cannot imagine a man any happier,or more at peace, than he was to leave this world knowing what an AMAZING life and family he had . His devotion to Annlou was obvious , and all YOUR devotion to both your parents is inspirational .
I'll always love Joseph "Klopotowski" !!! hugs Maria Nickerson Cholanian

To Joe's Family: We just loved your Dad and Grandfather, and your mother, Ann Lou. We are members of the Portage Lakes Kiwanis and so enjoyed his stories and jokes at every meeting. He always felt we should end a meeting that way, and since he left have tried to honor him with weekly jokes in his name!! We will miss him! Vicki and Charlie Kepnes
