My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Ehrhardt and the entire Ehrhardt family. I had one of the greatest honors and that was to work with Mr. Ehrhardt and his family for over 15 years. Mr. Ehrhardt was a kind man and a generous person. He always put family and friends before buisness and was very active in the community. Even though Mr. Ehrhardt is no longer with us on this earth, he will always be with us in spirit.
May God bless the Ehrhardt family in this time of sorrow.

Eric,

I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a true leader of the Wallenpaupack area community. His impact will be felt for many years to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I took care of him in the hospital and he must have been a wonderful man because I would joke around with him and he'd smile.
