Mary Ellen,
We were so sorry to read of Harry's passing. We met both of you on one of the most memorable vacations of our lives to Mexico when you set it up for my stepdad Jerry Green back in 2004. Jerry talked so often and fondly of his times with you. I especially remember their Friday morning breakfasts. Please know we are thinking of you at this very sad time.

For the family: I've posted the link to Mr. Kepler's obit on Facebook's page DBF-Diesel Boats Forever, and these submariners are commenting.. The USS Dolphin was a diesel/electric submarine as was the one my late brother commanded. His name, too, was Harry, which means "commander." I found your information about Harry Kepler's music ability very interesting.

So sorry Mary Ellen. I just got out of the hospital and don't have all my strength back. Our prayers and sympathy are with you and your family. Love Charlie and Judy Kerr

The SUBVETS will have your family in our thoughts and prayers.
