Sincere condolences to Dr. Kerner’s family. If memory serves me correctly, Dr. Kerner had artwork on the wall done by his wife. I was a patient in Verona from about 1978 until he retired, including after 1987 when I moved 1/2 hour away. I even brought a youngster from Northern Ireland who was staying with me one  summer for a dental evaluation. On an early visit, when I told Dr. Kerner that I was going to a convention to Arizona, he gave me his cousin’s phone number and asked me to call her, which I did; he reminded me that she had a hearing problem or a speech impediment, but I did send his greetings to her. Dr. Kerner also talked about his ham radio, the precursor of CB radios in cars and trucks, but stationed from land areas. He seemed to enjoy that. I remember he liked being a member of Kiwanis or Rotary Club.  Some of the conversations were when I was a captive audience with my mouth being worked on, and others were before or after my visit. Coincidentally, I also met Dr. Kerner’s brother Michael who is a gastrointestinal physician. He didn’t know how I could know his brother, so I told him how many years I had been going to his brother Robert for dental care. Again, please know that I benefited from Dr. Kerner’s professional skills as well as his fun nature.  And many others enjoyed his professionalism and easy going nature. Love to all the Kerner family.

Dear Lynn,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. I always got the sense of the deep devotion you had for each other, so I can only imagine how difficult these early days have been.  May his memory always be a blessing, and may you and your family find comfort in your loving memories. 

Sending my best,
Beth Wallach (from the Y pool)

May cherished memories bring you peace, strength and comfort in the days ahead

Dear Lynn,

Bobby made us all feel special. Once he even went with me when I needed to get a operation  on my mouth.  I was so petrified, so Bob volunteered!  How many Dentist friends would do that?  

He had such joy for every hobby he chose.  Bobby was JOY!

LOVE,
MYRA

A friend of 57 years from our army days together, I am overcome by grief, Lynn.  There was no better a friend (or dentist!) than Bob.   His many interests, talents, and hobbies made our weekly conversations something I looked forward to.   He was most interested in his friends' lives, while seldom speaking about himself.
I hope it can be some consolation knowing that you are in my thoughts often.   Be strong for Todd and the grandkids.  That's what he would want.

I loved how he loved his family!
Bobby will missed by friends and family but forever in our hearts.

So very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing.  My sincerest sympathy. 
The four of us had some good times together.
