Dear Susan, I was so pleased when your father and I connected about the Ehlers family history. He was very generous in sharing his information. I was able to learn a bit more about the family through my own exploration because of the information he shared with me. I can tell from reading the posts here that he was a generous and caring man in all aspects of his life. My condolences to you on the loss of your father. I hope to keep in touch with you through the family history links. You...

Bill Ehlers, 2004
It was a real privilege to have been a colleague of Dr. Ehlers. He was always genuinely concerned about his patients and their families. He was a familiar presence at St. Peter Hospital when assisting in the operating room and on the nursing floors at all hours of the day and night.
He was a kind, gentle and caring person as well as being an excellent physician. The world needs many more like him. He will be greatly missed.
The photo shows him without a tie which was very unusual.

Susan,
I am so appreciative that you called me about the passing of your dear Father.The two times that we were able to visit each other here in Omaha hold such wonderful memories.
So interesting to read the other Remembrances in this Book. He was so loved! I was able to contact Susan Olsson, my Cousins' Daughter and give her the message. Susan and your Dad did work on the Ehlers Genealogy so I knew she would want to know.
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this...

Susan Our Deepest Sympathy goes out to you in your time of need. You're father was the best Dr. in the world. He literally saved my son, who was diagnoesed with rhuematic fever, and this is such a rare disease that could have took my son, but with your dad's expertise he is still with us and for that I am truely gratful. He was also my 2 daughters doctor untill he retired. Which I'm sure was well deserved after all his years of dedication. We will truly miss him & you will be in our prayers,...
