Kermit R. Eby Jr.

Miss you Dear Brother. Daniel

I can not had the pleasure of being with Kermit and Ruth one week in my life. Kermit and Ruth served with me at Camp LaVern, a Church of the Brethren camp in in California, to a group of girls and boys in early teen years. If the Ebeys had not been with me that week I honestly do not know what I would have done. They both were just outstanding in their leadership and counsel. The great wisdom and spiritual depth they gave us has been sweet comfort through many years. We know and trust...

I cannot imagine a world without Kermit. From him I learned community organizing and got the inspiration to keep on keeping on.
Love and my heartfelt sympathy to you all.

Wir haben Kermit als fröhlichen Menschen mit kritischem Denken kennen und schätzen gelernt. Über den Verlust sind wir alle sehr traurig und wir wünschen Ruth und der ganzen Familie viel Kraft, um den Verlust und den Schmerz zu überwinden.

We are truly sorry to hear about your loss. May the comfort of God help you and your family during this difficult time.

Kermit was my greatest inspiration in college and throughout my career as a special education teacher. He was an acitve support in my life long after graduation, and kept in touch through phone calls, e-mails, and amazing Christmas letters highlighting the year's events. My thoughts are with Ruth and the family he spoke of with such pride. I feel blessed that our paths crossed and I was able to share in the stories of a man with such an amazing and influential life. Thank you Kermit!

Ruth, My condolences are with you and the rest of the family. I just talked to Kemit a few months ago, and we were suppose to go for coffee as soon as both of our worlds slowed down to permit it. Kermit was my teacher at John Adams High school. I was going through a very rough time in my home life, and Kermit was very hard on me. But as time went by and I grew older, I realized he was only doing it for my own good. I respected him very much, and thank him for helping mold me into the person...

Sorry to read about Kermit. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Ruth and family,
I knew Kermit in high school, at South Shore High and always was inspired by his sense of humor and vigorously optimistic approach to life. I remember him as a true son of his distinguished father too.
Please except my deepest condolences on his passing; the world needs more like him - honest and strong.
Be well,
Mike
