Henry “Hank” L. Kerber, 86 of Eau Claire passed away on Monday, November 27, 2017 at his home.
Hank was born on January 28, 1931 to Henry and Estelle (Higgins) Kerber in Madison, Wisconsin. He worked for Wisconsin Bell Telephone Company and AT&T for 48 years. Hank was an avid Lionel Train collector.
Hank is survived by his wife, Claudine Kerber of Eau Claire; children, Kristine (Jim) Martin of Chetek, WI and Sharon (Kasem) Kasem of Kokomo, IN; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandson.
Hank was preceded in death by his siblings.
Private family service will be held.
We were so very sorry to hear about Hank. We will miss his fantastic spirit. We have never seen Hank in a grumpy mood. His lovely words and sweet smile will be missed every single day. We didn’t drive or walk by their home even once without scanning for Hank as he liked to tinker around. We visited often and those visits will be missed greatly. We always asked if we could do anything or help and he always said, “Oh no, this is good for me.” He was a kind and humble soul. I don’t think I will ever make my cinnamon rolls again without thinking about Hank as he did enjoy them. Again, we are very sorry for your loss. ~The Craker Family
Claudine and family: I am so sorry to read of Hank’s passing. You (Hank and Claudine) have been heavy on my mind….you were fine neighbors to me on Pamela Place. May the peace and presence of our Eternal God be with you to comfort you at this time of loss.
Blessings
