Not sure what to say?

Occasionally I will walk the dogs a little further than usual, and today I happened by a home which mailbox indicated the Ketterer family. The name is uncommon, and the memory distant, but I had a band teacher some 40 plus years ago at Monte Vista Elementary School. He was patient enough to put up with 2 years of my very feeble attempts at trumpet. He was humble enough to smile through our bands version of pomp and circumstance during grade School graduations. While I can't say that he had a...

Miss you Daddy, so much!

Hello. This is Eileen. It is hard to come up with the words I want to say. I could just copy Katy. My father was everything to our family. The quiet Irish Man. Always had the right answers with the most incredible faith I have ever witnessed. I always knew he was special and I was in the presence of not only a gifted musician but the most admired man I know. He made me laugh a lot. People say I have his smile. I can only hope. I love you all and my dad would be smiling about all the...

Henry Ketterer was my grandfather. I'll always remember him, and his contributions to my life. Thank you grandpa<3

Hi Jean,

I played with Henry in both the Scottsdale Concert Band and the T-Bone Choir. It was an honor to play with him. I am so Sorry

This musical start lead to - among other things - about 20 years of performing and directing church music. That by the way is also how I met my wife of 31 years.

I don't need to tell you he will be missed. Just know there is a Guy up in Payson who was truly blessed to have known and been taught by Mr....

Hi Jean: I am Dorothy (Drabek0 BASHKINGY I AM SO SORRY that we missed the funeral of Henry. I am not to good at using the computer so I don't get on it very often. I am so sorry to hear about this so late. I am sending my sincere sympathy to you and your family. Dorothy Bashkingy. I played the band with the girls of "57"

Joan, Mary & Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It seems like just a few shorts months that I saw you. He had such a full life and shared his beautiful vocation with so many. We are all so blest to have shared in his life. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts, love and prayers are with you ...
