Charles Keith Kastner, 89, of Topeka passed away on February 9, 2018. Born July 4, 1928, in Wamego, KS, he was the son of Marion “Tub” and Emma Kastner of Westmoreland. Charles grew up on the family farm east of Westmoreland.

He was a graduate of Westmoreland High School.

He enjoyed all kinds of hunting and fishing, especially deer hunting in Colorado and Wyoming. He also enjoyed playing card games of all types and traveling. Visits from his family, grandkids and great-grandkids were hi-lights in his life.
