Gerhardt was an amazing example of Christianity, he showed patience , kindness , understanding , unselfishness and love to others. He had been a part of our family since 1975. Even though he was hired for a business relationship he was like family to us. We would visit, and share stories ( He was so proud of his kids and grandchildren.) Gerhardt was a humble man with a big heart. He will be sadly missed. His legacy is his family that he loved so much. He touched the hearts of all the friends that knew him dearly.
With Prayers , Hugs and Deepest Sympathy.

I have very good memories of Gerhardt. He was a customer, a tax advisor and a great friend. I have gotten to know his family and always enjoyed his stories of them and his grandchildren. If his children came for a visit he brought them in and let me meet them. They all had their own stories of life where ever they were living. I heard about his helping Paul when he would go for that visit. The Alaska stories were so interesting and I loved their newsletter. Joel and Yvonne were two that I got to see often and enjoyed them also. A very loving man who many will miss! Prayers to all of you and keep your memories as I will. Hugs Judy Nikolai

What a VERY humble man. I am very thankful the good Lord put Gerhardt in my life. I felt very refreshed when sitting with him in Bible study many times. Him and I would usually be the only two men there. What a fine example of what a Christian man ought to be! God’s continued blessings and comfort as you deal with him not being with you anymore. But we have the comfort of knowing we will see him again, along with our dear Lord and Savior, one great and glorious day! God be with you all.
In Jesus name we pray,
