Robert Eugene Kuhnert, of Centerville, passed away peacefully on October 4th, 2022, at age 102. He was born February 8th, 1920 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvia, to Samuel and Margaret (Wagner) Kuhnert.
He proudly served his country as an officer in the United States Air Force, and was with the 355th fighter group in England during World War II. After his time in the military, he graduated from Graceland College (University) and University of Denver, before continuing his government service as a civilian.
He and Bettye Fredrick Kuhnert were married for 53 years, from 1943 until her passing in 1996. They are survived by their daughter and son-in- law, Doris and Bob Cadman, two grandchildren and their spouses, Kathleen (Eddie Baxter) and Rob (PJ) Cadman, two great-grandchild, Zion Baxter and one on the way, and many other extended family members and friends. He was married to Helen Louise Kuhnert for 20 years, from 2000 until her passing in 2020, and was a stepfather to Dinah, Dallas, and Doug.
As a devout member of Christ Church United Methodist in Kettering, OH, he requested donations to their work and service, in lieu of flowers. A celebration of his life will be held later, when he is laid to rest next to Bettye, in Glen Haven Memorial Park, Florida.
The family would like to thank the staffs of Austin Trace Health and Rehabilitation and Crossroads Hospice for their dedicated and compassionate care.
