Dr. Kieffer was born in St. Paul, Minnesota March 21, 1928. He was a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic (1951), and served on its faculty for three years.
"Chiropractic has show horses, and we have work horses." observed ACA Governor James Edwards,DC (Kansas). "Dr. Kieffer has been a work horse who has pulled chiropractic's plow for decades. This profession owes him a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid."
Dr. Kieffer is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Darlene; children, John, Jessica, Patricia, Robert, Jeffery, Michelle, and LeAnne; 16 grandchildren; and many friends. Another son, Harold Jr., preceded Dr. Kieffer's death.
Dr. Kieffer was a parish council president for two years at Risen Savior Catholic Church. His memorial service was held at Prince of Peace Catholic Church on November 21, 2000.
