Rev. Joseph Opperman

He was my pastor from 1978, when I was born, on.

He was my pastor for a very long time and he was a good friend to me. I was baptized by him.

My prayers go out to Sis.Evenlyn Opperman, and Phil's family...Bro.Opperman was my pastor since I was 3 yrs.old...started the little house on the corner of Valentine & Floradora, until the Church was built on W.McKinley & Marks...When the new Chapel was built, my husband (Doug)and I were the first couple to be married there, by Bro.Opperman..All 4 of my children were dediacated there by him...The Opperman's were the most wonderful, and beautiful people I have ever known, inside and out...They...

My condolonces to the Opperman Family. I never met Rev Joe but my uncle Harry Opperman was his cousin and talked about him often. Uncle Harry Also Rev went to be with the lord several years ago and now I am sure they are having a good time in the Lord

Mr. Opperman was our next door neighbor on Lead Avenue in Fresno. He was a gentle soul, and was always so good to us. I will always remember seeing him walk home for lunch from his church, and the walk back to church after lunch. He is in our thoughts and prayers.

Sis. Opperman,

As you know, Bro. Opperman was an amazing man (luckily he married an amazing woman). You have both held a special place in the hearts of my family and I will never forget your love and prayers for us. It was an extreme privelege 'growing up' at West McKinley and being a part of your hearts for so many years. Thank you both for the blessings, memories and legacy you have helped create for us and so many more.
