Born in Millersville, he was the son of the late Edward B., Sr. and Georgia M. Allen Kahler. A very talented artist, Ed was a sign painter and gold leaf artist, owning Kahler Signs, working from the time of his return from World War II until he was 87.

He loved bad puns, and was a fan of old silent films featuring Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire. He also loved his cat, Edith. Ed is survived by his children: Edward B.
