I am so sorry to hear that Ps. Wertz passed away. He was such an asset to our community and our Lutheran churches. I remember him from our East Erie Cluster of Lutheran churches to which he encouraged and added so many ideas and shared his knowledge. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Kelly: I just found out about your dad and am so sorry for your loss.
I remember a lot about your dad. He married my brother Steve at Faith Lutheran Church back in 1991 and was gracious enough to let me get married there earlier that same year by my then husband's minister (who was from Hershey, PA) who officiated the service.
Your dad was a very kind man and I am sure will be missed by everyone who knew him.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Pastor Wertz baptized both of my children. We weren't members of his church, but had family that were. He invited us in as if we were his own kin.Beautiful soul. Wonderful man.
