Obituary
Ehrmin
Richard A.
Richard "Dick" a. Ehrmin, age 104, of the Woodlands, passed peacefully in the company of his family on July 17, 2017. He was born to George A. Ehrmin and Muriel D. Sage in Toledo, Ohio on January 29, 1913. He attended Scott High School studying architecture, graduating in 1931.
He worked with his father in house contracting prior to 1929. In the 1930's, he worked at what work he could find as a painter and at Spicer. In 1938, he worked on WPA projects as a cement finisher. In 1939, he worked for WJ Perry, a home builder, and also drew plans for houses at night and on weekends. During WW II, he worked as a carpenter/foreman on military base projects at Sun Oil, Rossford Ordinance Depot, Lycoming Engines, on Grosse Isle Naval Air Station and at Newport Air Field, MI.
After the war, he went back to home building with contractor John Witte as a carpenter/foreman and designed many homes. In 1958, he went to Scholz Homes, a manufacturer of prefab homes, as a designer and instructor for assembling contractors. During his time as a carpenter he taught at carpenter's apprentice school. His last position of 18 years was at Samborn Steketee Otis and Evans (now SSOE) as an architectural designer and field representative working on many building projects in the Toledo area including the original Bowsher HS, Monroe Auto Equipment Headquarters in Monroe, MI, The Toledo Edison Building and the Main Post Office.
He married Wave Foster in 1936 and she preceded him in death in 1984. He is survived by his sons, John (Irene) of Ottawa Hills, OH and James (Mary) of Lynnwood, WA; 5 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. He was a longtime member of Robinson Locke Lodge F & AM.
Per his request, there will be no funeral or visitation. A Private burial will take place at Historic Woodlawn Cemetery. The family greatly appreciates the help of the Toledo Hospital Coronary Unit, Woodlands, Sunset House and Ashanti Hospice Staffs.
Arrangements entrusted to the Foth-Dorfmeyer Mortuary, 3815 Sylvania Ave.
