Donald "Joker" Kinter
Donald "Joker" Kintner, 78, of Columbia, Missouri and formerly
of Rocheport, stepped from this life into the next one on Tuesday,
May 15, 2019, peacefully at his home with family, following a diagnosis of cancer. While we who are left to grieve, those who are
waiting in heaven for him rejoiced.
He was born June 4, 1940, in Columbia, Missouri to Mancle G.
and Anna Mae (Perkins) Kintner.
Donald married the love of his life, Peggy L.
Schrader on July 23, 1960. Two daughters, Sherry
and Stacy rounded out their family.
Joker had many jobs as a youth but settled into
drywall for a lifelong job. He created Kintner
Drywall and later worked for the University of
Missouri in Plant Engineering.
Anything he did he did with intensity. Various
hobbies through his life included coin and bottle
collecting, playing pool, softball, bowling,
golfing, fishing and card playing just to name a few. He enjoyed
getting together with family and friends to pursue these many
hobbies.
His girls went to measure houses, learned to play pool, dug in
various dumps for bottles, learned to sit still in a boat to fish and
spent a lot of time at the bowling alley with their dad.
His three grandchildren were his joy. He loved sharing things
with them and traveling with them.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Peggy in 2002; his
daughter, Stacy in 1984; his mother and father; his brother, Kenny
and his sister Carolyn.
Survivors include his daughter, Sherry and her husband, Max
Wachter; three grandchildren, Ray, Zack and Rheanna Wachter;
