Mark Wetherbee Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I found out today that Herm Kohnke of Kohnke Rebabbiting services passed away recently, and quite suddenly. I called about my rods a few days ago and got a call back from his son John with this sad news. Talking with John, he’s been working with Herm for some time now and is trying to identify all the jobs in the shop at this moment with the thought of keeping it going. If nothing else he is determined to complete anything that was in process so that nobody is left on a limb. if you have any work there right now I suggest you leave a message and John will be better at answering any questions or concerns you might have.

Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 A tremendous loss for the antique automobile community, especially the Model T world. Herm was truly an engineering genius and had so much to offer on the forums he participated in. Experts like him are sadly disappearing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 That was part of the conversation yesterday with his son, that there were fewer people every year that knew what they were doing with Babbitt. Hopefully John will be able to keep the business running at the same level of quality that it was known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
