Growing up at Mt. Hope, I have many happy memories there. Our condolences to the Eppehimer family.

When Rev. Eppehimer got to the pearly gates God surely joined St. Peter to personally say "George, a job well done." He and Mrs. Eppehimer set a wonderful example of how to live a Christian life for all who knew them. They both have always held a special place in my heart. Peace be with Rev. Eppehimer. Mrs. Eppehimer - I pray that the love of God, the love of your family and friends and your the memories of your wonderful life carry you forward. In Peace, Diane (Battan) Kauffman

My Grand Father will be greatly missed. His smile I will never forget and to grow up watching a man help others get through tough times was an amazing lesson. I will never forget being a young man sitting in the pews at Mount Hope looking up to my grand father as he blessed us all with his words. George had away with words and a smile that was addicting. He blessed me with an amazing father John W Eppehimer Sr. who has also taught me so much. I can honestly say I am a lucky man to have such a wonderful man in my life.
I could never thank him enough for teaching and showing us the values he up held his whole life.
His wife Mable my grand mother is a inspiration and I look forward to spending many more years with her, listening to amazing life stories.
Rest in peace sir! I am so proud to be your grandson I know you have always prayed for my family and I and know you will always be looking over all of us.
Love Always

My grandfather George Eppehimer will be missed greatly. He always had a smile on his face and always was able to make me smile. My grandfather was an incredible man to look up to and blessed me with an amazing father John W Eppehimer Sr.
Over my adult years I constantly run into people that know my grandfather and its always great to hear the stories and the joy he brought to people where ever he was. Now I'm sure he is in heaven watching over us.
Love Always
