He was 85 and a native of Baton Rouge. His parents had a dairy farm on the
Old Hammond Highway.  During World War II, he joined the Air Force and was
stationed in England, where he married an Englishwoman, Jean Howarth. Since

got his wish.  He obtained three years of agricultural engineering at LSU
and worked briefly as a welder and later had a successful career as an
engineer.  For a few years, he had a steel fabricating business.  Around
1970, he moved to Livingston Parish where he has resided in Springfield
ever since.  He was a long-time member of the Louisiana Songwriters
Association and a writer of numerous songs. He played the guitar and piano.
He was a member of the Republican Party and the National Rifle Association.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Amelia Kohler; his
infant son, Dane; his wife, Jean; and his long-time companion, Marguerite
Abadie.  He is survived by his daughter, Joy Kohler of New Orleans; sons,
Turberville Kohler of California, Derek Kohler of Springfield, Llewellyn K.
Kohler of Gainesville, Florida, Shannon F. Kohler of Walker, Livingston
Parish, and his daughter, Vivien Schulz of Austin, Texas; and five
grandchildren.  According to his wishes, he was cremated.  There will be a
