His honour the Rabbi

כ"ה probably stands for "כבוד הרב", his honour (the) Rabbi. The reason I am not sure because of the second sentence. I imagine that there are words following the second sentence that would make it clearer. On the other hand, the second "כ"ה could stand for
"כל הימים". which is a poetic way of saying "Always", or "Throughout his life."
Example sentence:

הוא נתן צדקה כל ימיו.

כל הימים שהיה שם, הוא למד עם הצבור.

Note from asker:
There is not much content - it is a writing on a gravestone.
