Mr. Kistler honorably served our country in the United States Army from 1964 until 1966.

Dump was an avid hunter, loved watching NASCAR, and especially loved dirt track racing. When he wasn’t busy at the races, he loved spending time with his family and attending turkey shoot matched in Blain.

He will be remembered for his kind heart who would help anyone, and as a great father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
