My deepest, heartfelt, sympathies to the family of Robert Ernhart. Bob was not only a close relative, but also a very close personal friend of my family, especially of my father, his Uncle Ray Kohler. I have many fond memories of time spent hunting and fishing with Robert and his boys, Steve, John, and Jarod! Robert will truly be missed!
With Deepest Sympathy,
Tim J. Kohler
Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad, Jared. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I want to give my deepest sympathy to Bob’s family. I was a classmate of his in the class of 1960. Bob was always friendly and outgoing. It was a real pleasure knowing him.
