on June 8, 1962 in Springfield, Illinois.
Kurt worked for HFD Inc. where he opened fabric stores,
managed Pill Box Drug stores and domestic departments in
many of the first discount stores. This job required much
traveling and moving for the family. They finally decided
to move home to Adams. He worked for Award Mobile homes for
a short time and later was employed at Castle Rock Container

retirement he decided to work at Ho-Chunk Casino for four
years with Linda in the E.S. Department. After four years
he had to leave due to his health.
He loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren
and enjoyed Golf, woodworking & making birdhouses. He
also enjoyed beating the boys at horseshoes and bargain
shopping. There was never a time that he wasn�t whistling
or humming a tune.

Pearl Ehlert & his grandson, Kollin Michael Ehlert.
