James M. Kahler Dds

James M. Kahler DDS, 59, Athens died Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. Jim is best described by his goddaughter Meghan. Heaven gained a remarkable man. He is the perfect example of what it means to be hard working, beyond generous, caring and compassionate. He ALWAYS, ALWAYS, AlWAYS lived each day to the fullest, doing things he loved and with the people he loved. He had jolly Irish cheeks and eyes that always sparkled! He is in heaven right now sitting in a fishing boat with all his pups enjoying a nice cold beer. Thank you to all his friends and family who added him to their prayers.
