Obituary for James M. Kelchner Jr.
James M. Kelchner, Jr., 64, of Hamburg died Saturday, December 23, 2017 in his residence.
"Jim" was a man of few words and material needs. He deeply cherished and respected the love and relationships he shared with his family and friends. He always thought of others needs before his own. As a self-taught master carpenter and craftsman, he had the ability to tackle and accomplish any project or life challenge with perseverance and attention to detail.
After family, friends, and "puttering around in his shop," as he called it, he had a love of nature and preservation of wildlife, and Civil War history.
Even though his physical presence will no longer be with us, he will never go away in the hearts and minds of those fortunate to have known him, he will walk beside us every day.
Jim is survived by a sister, brother, nephews, great nephews, a great niece, cousins, and friends.
A Celebration of Life Tribute Service will be held Saturday, December 30, 2017 at 11:00 am from Leibensperger Funeral Homes, Inc., 65 S. 4th Street Hamburg, PA 19526 (off-street parking in rear). A viewing will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 am. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family. For online condolences, please visit www.leibenspergerfuneralhomes.com
