Not sure what to say?

John was my Florida neighbor and a friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Kahler family.

I remember when my runabout crashed out near Big Island, Capt John Pat swung over with spare line and a pump. `No one is left adrift,´ he laughed. With drink in hand. That was John.... always prepared, calm, generous and laughing through it all.

We lost such a wonderful man. John was a fighter and couldn't have been prouder of his children. I am sending so much love and prayers to all who loved him. Praying you find gentle moments of rest and comfort knowing he is reunited with his beloved Deanna.

With deepest sympathy to the entire Kahler family. Wishing you strength, peace, and comfort.

John's always perfect shoes. He made a big place feel small and kind

I´ll never forget how Mr. Kahler knew everyone´s name. His pride in the Kahler Grand and kindness set the tone. Sending love to the whole Kahler family.

Captain John, your sense of humor and love and knowledge of boats will be greatly missed. Rest easy my friend.
