Robert George Kahler

A Mason for more than 70 years, Bob exemplified the principles of brotherhood, integrity, and service. His dedication to the Masonic fraternity was a defining part of his life, and he remained actively involved for decades, forming lifelong friendships and offering quiet leadership by example.

Bob was deeply committed to his faith and was an active participant in men’s Bible study, where he found both fellowship and spiritual growth. He cherished the sense of community that came from gathering with friends for pinochle, bingo, and shuffleboard—activities that brought him great joy, laughter, and connection throughout his life.

Above all, Bob was a devoted and loving husband to his wife, Zedith, with whom he shared over 74 years of marriage. Their life together was a beautiful testament to enduring love, mutual respect, and unwavering companionship.

Bob will be remembered for his steady presence, kind heart, and the many lives he touched through his faith, friendships, and service. He leaves behind a legacy of love, commitment, and quiet strength that will continue to inspire all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

Bob is the beloved husband to Zedith T. Kahler; devoted father of Karen Zedith Buck and Allison Leslie Gurley; cherished grandfather of Jessica Adler, Carson Greaney, Cameron Gurley and Andrew Fenn Gurley, III; great grandfather of Sebastien and Leo Bonnier; dear brother of the late Harlan J. Kahler; brother in law of Jean Kahler.
