Father Erbe was the pastor of St. Paul's in Evansville as well as Our Lady Queen of Peace in Madison. When Sue and I moved to Madison in 1984, we heard a sermon by Fr. Erbe that convinced us to locate in the parish. We loved his sermons but did not know him as a person. We later moved to Evansville and when Fr. Erbe moved to Evansville we grew to know him as a friend and pastor.
Recently,one of our fellow bloggers got Fr. Erbe a Harley decal for his scooter at St. Mary's hospital as well as a Harley bear. The last time Sue saw him in the hospital she gave him the Harley bear and told him his friends in Evansville were rooting for him. It was a very special moment. Thanks again to those bloggers.
The spirit of Fr. Erbe will live on. We will miss him deeply.
