Not sure what to say?

Mr. Wirtz was one of the most influential teachers of my life at EHS, and I teach music and play my cello to this day because of the love of music he instilled in me. He knew how to use a rare mix of humor, toughness, high standards without shaming, commitment, and understanding of the needs of each student. Truly a great teacher and a great man. He will be missed!!
Love and sympathy to Katie, Ray, Jeff, Mark, Mary and the whole family!
WIth so many precious memories,
Kathy (Beers)...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

So sorry to hear about Jack's passing - he was always so nice to me whenever I came to visit Alida.
She told me "I only had one child, but he was a really good one!"
He'll be truly missed!

We were sorry to hear of Jack's passing but know he is in a better place. Surely, his children and grandchildren and Katie will miss him. He was a wonderful musician and father

So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
