We are grateful for our association with Al, Lois and their family. Their friendship and service has been a blessing to us and our family.
Dear Lois and Family,
So sorry for your loss. Al was always so kind and concerned with the welfare of everyone. He was a man of great courage and integrity. Your friendship in welcoming us will always be a cherished memory. We pray you will be comforted at this time.
Love,
The Mason Family
It would be hard to find a more devoted service couple than Al and Lois Kieffer. They would gladly accept anything you asked them to do. Al was the consumate scouter and touched the lives of dozens of young men. Lois served in many capacities with no thought of reward or recognition.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kieffer family at this time of loss. Know of our love and gratitude for you and all the memories we share.

We were so sad to hear of the passing of our former neighbor Al. He was such a gentle and kind person who always had a smile to share. We were so grateful to have known him and Lois. We pray she and her family may feel peace at this time and the love of those around them.
Dear friends. We mourn with you all at this time of great loss. We have so many wonderful memories of you, your family and Bp. Kieffer and wife, Maxine. We send our love and prayers to support and help you through the days ahead. Please know of our love for you.
My love and condolences!!!! Al was an amazing man! He taught me many things with the famous twinkle of his eye. My favorite teaching was the importance of the temple and the plan taught there! I loved Many Sunday night game night. He invented some of my favorite games! Heaven has gained a general!!!!
Al and Lois are truly the sweetest people that I have every know. I loved being in a ward with them for so many years in Bountiful. I have really missed them since they have moved. The love and care that they showed to each other was a great example to me and I found it to be so special. I don't know their children as well as I would have liked to. I am grateful to a beautiful family that would show so much love and great care to their aging parents. Lois I love you and will pray of peach and health in your life.
Lois I’m so sorry for you’re families loss. We’ve all lost a great man and good friend, who taught me how to be a good scout, but even a better man. Will always cherish the fishing trips to Panguitch lake, and between Al and Lila forcing me to become a Eagle Scout, I us those skills, philosophies and traits to this day. Be Prepared. Love you guys, and god bless.
I'm so sad we won't be able to attend the service for Uncle Al. I sure love him and my heart goes out to all of your family.
I loved his dry whit.
He was a great dad and I remember the playhouse he built for his kids.
I remember how much he loved his garden, just like Grandpa loved gardening.
It was beautiful to watch the softening and gleam in his eye every time his grandkids were talked about. He loved them so much! He delighted in things they said and did.
I took Angela's kids to visit Uncle Al and Aunt Lois several times. They remember the "birdseed" he had out in a candy dish. Al and Lois were always very welcoming.
I will also remember how much he loved the temple and that he was a great brother to my dad.
He will be missed.
Enos 1:27
"And I soon go to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; for I know that in him I shall rest. And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father. Amen."
We appreciate all the love and concern you and Al showed us during the time Robin was recovering from his heart transplant. Hugs to you Lois. ❤❤❤
