I have often thought of Mr. Knepper over the years and wondered what he was up to. I was very sorry to come across this information but just wanted to say that I will always remember his humor and how he would twirl up those eyebrows and make the most hilarious faces at us. I will always respect his gift of teaching and will treasure my memories of chorus and ensemble days!! God bless you!!

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. K's passing. I learned so much singing with him for the three years in the early 70's. He was a great role model for us and I often think of the things he taught me. He was a great chess opponent. Class of 73.

I just learned of Mr. Knepper's passing. I was a student and student assistant to Mr. Knepper. He always thought he would beat me in 3 moves in Chess, but it always took him 4 or 5!!! My best memories of high school has Mr. Knepper in them. I loved and admired him. Best teacher ever!!!!! I know losing your dad is very difficult. There won't be a day that goes by that you won't think of him. PTL that he's in Heaven. I can't wait to see what he's done with the choir when we get there! God Bless~~~~
Class of 1971 (last class he had for 6 years).

Dear Knepper Family,
Mr. Knepper was my beloved chorus and jazz ensemble teacher from 1978-1981. He also taught four of my sisters before me and we all have wonderful memories of our time spent with him. The love of music that I have today I owe in great part to Mr. Knepper. I only hope that he knew just how much he was loved and appreciated.
Please accept my sincerest sympathy and know that Mr. Knepper touched more lives than can ever be counted.

I am so sad to see about the passing of Mr Knepper. I will always remember singing in his Chorus at Evans High School in the early 70's. Mr Knepper will be sorely missed as a great and dedicated teacher.
