Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I miss you Ernie, miss our breakfast together and our talks.

So very sorry to learn of Ernie's passing. Such a kind gentleman.

I just learned that Ernie had died. We worked together at Historic Peace Church way back in the late 70s and later at this Historical Society of Dauphin County, where he was a 50-year member. Ernie often lent his talents and collections to the Harris-Cameron Mansion at Christmas time. He was a gentle soul and an avid music lover and concert goer. Ernie will be missed.

We just found out about Ernie's passing and wanted to express our condolences. Ernie was a great friend and helped us out at Mechanicsburg Museum for about the last 10 Christmas's with our exhibits and decorating trees. He will be greatly missed. Steve Zimmerman and Faith Matthews

We became friends at Penndot. Ernie was always so nice and kind. We had lots of good times and laughs as we were always in the hot seat for nothing. We always looked out for each other. Rest in peace my friend.

Ernie Kepner was a special person that I was honored to have our life paths crossed. He had a heart of gold, loved Christmas, both with the story of the birth of Christ with his manger collection, and the idea of Santa with his many Christmas trees throughout his home. A man with a big heart who was always willing to volunteer to help people less fortunate than himself. May he rest in Peace.

Ernie will be truly missed. We loved having him every morning at Keystone Restaurant. He was always a pleasure to talk to and spend time with. He even made multiple blankets for our staff as they expanded their families. We honored him Monday morning with a cup of coffee, extra cream in his own personal mug. Rest in peace Ernie.
