He completed training for MGT for Air Force Supervisor ECI 00006/69: Security Policeman – Security Police Supervisor ECI 81150/69 and Customs Inspector CRSE/71. He was a SSGT when he retired.
His military service took him all over the world. When he was stationed in England he met the love of his life, Monica Joy Costin. They married and had three children. Joanne and Lorraine who were born in England and a son, Kohler who was born in Italy. They spent time in various duty stations in the United States and upon his retirement they moved back to England where he worked as a Chef for the Whispering Sands NCO Club. In 1997 they moved to Triangle, Virginia where he lived until he left this world.
Kohler loved to go on long drives. He also loved to watch TV. He enjoyed Sci-Fi shows and really loved the movie “Alien”. Then again he also loved the movie “The Wizard of Oz”. He was an interesting man. He enjoyed having a beer and spending time with his family. His family was the most important thing to him. Along with his wife, he would travel back to England a couple of times a year up until he became too ill to travel. He loved England and was always happy to be able to go back to visit family.
Every day, you would find him reading the newspaper. He loved to keep up with all that was going on in the world. A hard working man, he worked two jobs for most of his life. He wanted to provide for his family and made sure they always had all that they needed and wanted. He was a loving, good man who put his family first.
Kohler was married to his wife Monica for 62 years. She survives him as do his children Joanne Rose (Christopher), Lorraine Godfrey (Christopher) and Kohler Dunn III (Daisy). His grandchildren Emma, Gregory, Matthew, Jemma and Megan grieve for him as do his great grandchildren Jack, Ellie, Mia, Finley and Jaxson. His sister, Dorothea and her husband James Fitzgerald will miss him dearly and survive him. His sister Jeanne and her husband Dominic De Frank both predeceased him and along with his parents, welcomed him when he entered the heavenly Kingdom.
There will be a memorial service held at a later date.
