My dearest Joe I will miss your smiling face. My heart breaks evertime I look at Mrs. Pearl and she asks for a diet coke because you would always bring her in one. I remember our conversation on the 19th of March when you called from the rehab place you were at. "How is Pearl you said, does she have enough money to get her hair done and her diet cokes, I miss her but I will be getting out soon to come and see her, please tell her i didnt forget about her and i love her." Definatley the words of a man who loved his wife so deeply. May you rest in Peace and see your Pearl when she comes home with you.

From the Schleich family, We will miss Joe dearly, He was a great man and will think of him often. I remember him taking me fishing at lake Yellowstone, Thank you for all the memories.

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and working with him over the past few months. He always had a way to make everyone smile no matter how his day was going.  How he will be missed, my sympathy to his family.

To the entire Kohler family we are sorry for the loss of your husband/father/grandfather. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

I worked with Joe at Yellow Frieght.  Enjoyed working with him many years. He was a super great guy .

We send our sincere and heartfelt sympathies to Pearl and the boys and their families of Joe Kohler.  I (Wes) had the privilege of knowing and working with Joe a good number of years both when Joe was with Yellow later working with us at A&B. Joe knew his trade well and was a pleasure to know.  I didn't get to tell him we visited Jerome Az. where he lived when his father worked in the copper mines there.  We pray that God will comfort you in this time of grief.  Wes & Eileen Engelkes, Peoria Az.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Kohler family on the loss of your loved one. We have many fond memories of Joe from the his campground days. We will miss his visits and his sunny, gentle nature.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your dad Bob (and Nancy). I am praying for you during this difficult time that God will bring you peace in knowing he's on a better place now and that you'll see him again some day.  Husky hugs, Claire, Carl and Kirsten

My late S/O worked with Joe at A&B and I got to know Joe and Pearl later at the Retirees.  Joe was a good man.  My special friend, Russ Horn is gone now too, we thought of Joe often.
