Not sure what to say?

I never met him, but he seems like a wonderful man and I wish I had had time with my grandfather.

I am a medical doctor and worked with Ed at Conemaugh's Ebensburg Healthfirst. Ed was a kind person and a good doctor. Ed was the first person I sent an email to when I bought my first computer --- he apparently gave me his email address. I remember Ed responded to my email to him saying, "Isn't this fun!"

As I again see Ed's photo I reflect on many positive interactions with him at the Ebensburg Center in Pennsylvania. As a staff development specialist I had the responsibility of conducting professional development for staff. I remember Ed asking if he could enroll in my public speaking class as he suffered from "stage fright." This surprised me as it did not seem congruent with his persona. He was a great man.

You will forever be missed.

Visited the cemetery where Ed's ashes will be laid to rest. Such a peaceful place. He was my answer man for nearly 18 years. I miss him.

I knew Edward from his days as the Clinical Director at The Ebensburg Center in Pennsylvania. He was an excellent doctor and kind person.

Dr. Shertz never lost his temper even if I called him in the middle of the night about a patient. He would say what do you think Bev.

Dr. Shertz will be missed greatly by his co-workers and friends here in Somerset who have become like family. His presence will be felt here for a long time to come because he has left such a long list of wonderful qualities - perseverance, kindness, humor, wealth of knowledge in medicine and life, and his consideration of others. He was always available for questions and used them as teaching opportunities. Many times I have went to him and he always had time, once even calling him on...

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Dr. Shertz was a very kind and sweet man. A very caring doctor whom cared deeply for his patients. Anytime I had to call him about one of his patients, he always took the time to listen. I admired him, after all the health issues that came his way, it never stopped him. He always pushed on to take care of his patients. I will miss you Dr. Shertz. RIP
