Dearest Gertz Family,
What an honor to have known such a holy soul. He was a gentle man in the true sense of the word. His art depicted the beauty and graciousness of his being.and reflected the wonder that was his life. He was a wonderful father, grandfather and true man - one of the greatest generation, to be sure. His presence in our family - and in the world - will be greatly missed. He was truly remarkable. God bless you all. Our thoughts, prayers and most heart-felt...
