Al Kersha (1967)

My condolences to Bob's famly.   I met Bob many years ago (I believe in Miami, Fl.) and remember him as a friendly, polite and intelligent young man.  We both attended the same church congregation for  a period of time till he left for A.C. ahead of me.     -  Al  Kersha.

Carl Robert Yergo was known from childhood as Bob.  He was a husband, father and diligent employee.  He was born in a small town in Pennsylvania.  He passed away on June 27,2016, having just turned 75 in May. 

In Pennsylvania, he majored in accounting at Penn State University and then volunteered for the Army during the Vietnam era.  He was chosen for Army Intelligence School.  He then served in the Army in Miami, Florida as an investigator and special agent for 3 years.  He lived in an apartment, wore civilian clothes, and drove an unmarked government car.

He entered Ambassador College in 1965 and attended one full year and parts of another since his accounting knowledge was needed in the Business Office of the college and church.  He was the only employee with a four year accounting degree at that time and for several years thereafter.  In addition to working in the Business Office, Bob also taught one or two business classes at AC for a year or two or three.

He later gained a Masters of Business Administration from California State University, Los Angeles.

He was married to Linda Herzog for 48 and a half years.  He also leaves behind his only child, Bryan--his pride and joy. 

Later Bob was a very diligent employee as an accountant in the Oil and Gas industry and he provided a good life for his wife and son.  He especially enjoyed recent trips to four cities-- Paris, France; Vienna, Austria; Budapest, Hungary and Bratislava, Slovakia.  His father's family came from Slovakia.  His mother's heritage was French so Bob got to visit both of the countries of his ancestors. 

Bob was a big help to Linda and Bryan in many ways and especially due to his extensive computer knowledge.  He will be greatly missed.

I have stated on other posts that perhaps my best use of this forum is to post positive memories of how, during

AC days, we would uplift others or be uplifted by others as we walked in the way...and that is my intent here.

However, I never really got to know Bob that well.  Time we did spend together was enjoyable...but limited.

We stayed in the dorm for a short time one summer...may well have been summer of 1967 as that was after my freshman year.  A lot of our contact was teasing each other.

He was dating Linda at the time, and, while I have always been a morning person (those are the most productive hours of my day) he would stay out late at night.  So when he would arise in the morning, I would greet him as "Nachtleben."  He knew German so he knew what that meant and would give me a big smile.  (It means "Night Life.")

I did not know Linda that well, but I always thought they looked like a well-matched couple.  I even thought they looked like each other (yes, I know the difference between male and female).  First time I saw them together I thought it was obvious they belonged together...and though I haven't seen either of them in over 50 years, that is how I have always thought of them.

It is certainly belated now, but I do hope all has gone well for the family.

May we all live in a manner that brings blessings upon our lives.
