  Bio: Erno J. Dahl, Ph.D., 90, died peacefully in his home in San Antonio on March 12, 2019, with his wife of 65 years at his side. He was born in Waco, TX, on Armistice (Veterans) Day, and grew up in nearby Clifton. He was preceded in death by his parents Sylvia and Hans B. Dahl and his step-mother Clarice Nelson Dahl. In 1946 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served one year in China and one on Guam. He was a graduate of Clifton Junior College, Luther College in Decorah, IA, and Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul, MN. In 1953 he married Suzanne Preus. They spent two years in England, where he earned his PhD in British religious thought at Durham University, concentrating on the writing of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He began his career in academia teaching religion at Texas Lutheran College (now University) in Seguin and was proud to be named "best lecturer." In 1964 he became Dean of the College. While there he was ordained into the ministry of the Lutheran Church. Four years later the family moved to Springfield, OH, where he served as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Wittenberg University. Other positions included Chairman of the Clark County Bicentennial Committee and President of the Council for International Educational Exchange. From 1977 to 1986 Erno was President of Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. He also acted as President of the Wisconsin Foundation of Independent Colleges. He was always a champion of independent liberal arts colleges, and the three in which he served were associated with the Lutheran Church, ELCA. He received the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award from Luther College and an Honorary Doctorate in Education from Carthage College. In 1987 the couple retired in San Antonio and became members of Shepherd King Lutheran Church. He occasionally served as supply pastor for Lutheran congregations in the area and volunteered at Christian Assistance Ministry (CAM). He is survived by his two sons, Jeremy Dahl (Bo Wang) and Jeffrey Dahl (Suzanne Rostomian); five grandchildren, Anna Dahl (Christoffer Hjalmroth), Elliot Dahl (Florence Navarro), Natalie Ann Dahl, Nathan Dahl, and Bergen Dahl, and two great-grandchildren, Henry and Edith Hjalmroth; his brother Alton J. Dahl (Beverly Barnett), sister-in-law Mary and husband Jonathan Preus. Erno was passionate about nature and spending time in the summer at the lake cabin he built in northwest Wisconsin, where his great joy was fishing with his sons while floating the St. Croix River in a canoe.
