I am so sorry to hear that Mr. Kilzer has passed away. Mr. Kilzer was always so happy to see us girls when he visited Paula and I in college at U of I. So much laughter and good times when he and Mrs. Kilzer would visit. I will always remember Mr. Kilzer as a loving father, a happy man with a hearty laugh and big smile, and a devoted husband to Paula's mother. Sending my condolences, love, and prayers to all the Kilzer family at this sad time.

Goodbye, Daddy. You've earned your eternal rest. Uncompromising but never judgemental, you demonstrated love without reservation, and so much more. What a fine, honorable man I had for a father. We shall miss you so, but we know you are wrapped in God's loving embrace. "Well done my good and faithful servant..."

Joe you were always the big brother I never had. Both myself and my family were blessed to have an uncle and friend as caring and giving as you. You will be missed by all whose lives you touched. May you rest in peace and God Bless.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to personally meet you (as your daughter's new roommate), however Mary had spoken of you fondly many times over the months I've been here.
I offer my deepest condolences to the family and ask God to watch over and bring you peace and comfort at this time.

My first memory of Joe was at our wedding, from a distance I thought I was seeing my grandfather. He was a special man and I was blessed to meet him when I joined the family. He always made me smile. Steve and I send our prayers to the family.

Andy and I are out of the country at the moment, but want to express our condolences. Joe was a good man...a kind, generous, loving person who always put God, family and country first. I'm certain the gates of heaven opened wide to welcome him home!
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Your love was always around us

"…don't it always seem to go you don't know what you got 'til it's gone…"
I will certainly miss the man who daily demonstrated the meaning of words like patience, dignity and integrity.
