OTTO JULIUS WURZBACH

What a shock!!! I was just thinking about O.J. and how I could contact him. He was my
BEST FRIEND in Montreal. I was remembering all the fun times we had when we were kids.
I'll never forget the time we had a full blown mass/funeral for a bull frog we caught in the lake. Playing with his dog
"KING". The one night that O.J. wanted me to have a "sleep over", I lasted about an hour and my mom came over to bring me back home, I was homesick. The last time I saw
O.J. is when he came here to Chicago to go to boot camp at Great Lakes. He stayed over
only 1 night but it was great. It was tough
saying goodbye to him when I only got to see him for such a short time. I will never forget my 1st and ONLY best friend. This is such a SHOCK to me. To bad we could not connect and stay in touch. I will miss you
O.J. love Frank

Dear Ann Marie,
it is with much sadness that I learned yesterday of OJ's passing. I always kept a fond memory of both you and OJ and every now and then, I cast an eye out on the internet to see where and how you were. During those formative years back at JAC, OJ had been that more mature brother that I wished I had had, who unknownst to him, helped me as I clumsily stumbled through the beginnings of my independant adult life. I will always cherish his friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, I went to school with OTTO in POINTE CLAIRE QUEBEC.

OJ,how is it aboard the SSN Heaven up there?Hopefully they'll let me come aboard but you never know with me.Late as usual to say hello.Captain's Mast 3x for that.But,better late than never as they say.OJ time flys so in no time i'll be seeing you and all my other good friends and family that are up there doing their thing.I salute you my old mate and great friend.Be good.

OJ and I swam together, along with his brother Greg, at Pointe Claire Swim Club. I will always remember him as the guy I couldn't beat. We were both breastrokers, he was a bit older than me, and always crushed me when we went head-to-head. Then was the nicest guy afterwards, so you couldn't be mad.

I will remember him as a great guy, filled with kindness.

My deepest condolences to the Wurzbach family on your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Peace.

Mr. Wurzbach, what can you say about this wonderful man? He was truly an inspiration to those he was around. He made math enjoyable, which is very difficult to do. He will be missed by so many. God bless his family in this time.

Im saddened to hear this news. Mr. Wurzbach was my favorite math teacher. He was so funny and I'm glad i got to know him.Love and much respect to his friends and family. I will greatly miss you friend.

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of grief...God is for you a refuge and strength, A help that is there to be found during difficult times...May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.

Ann Marie, I am so sorry for your loss. My thouhgts and prayers are with you friend. May God give you the strength and fortitude during this difficult time.

Otto was not only a fine teacher but, more importantly, a fine role model for his students. There is a main thoroughfare in San Antonio, TX, named Wurzbach Road. I am glad I had the chance to tell him how well known his family name is. See you at the math teachers meeting in heaven some day, Otto.

Otto, you were one of those teachers that was always an inspiration and motivation to his students, but the neat thing is you felt the same about your students. I had the privilege of having you for 3 different years of high school. I'll always remember how much fun we had in your class, whether it was learning or you just joking around with us in the many voices of Otto. :) Many good memories were had in your classroom, you definitely danced the beat of your own drummer which made you such an amazing teacher and person:) you will be missed abundantly. See you soon.

Anne Marie, Jimmy and Olivia, We are so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and bring you comfort in your time of sorrow.

Mr. Wurzbach is a person with much candor and integrity to make a lasting impression on people. As his student, I can honestly say he has left the world better than he found it. Peace and Tranquility for his family and friends through the hard times.

My sincerest condolences.

Ann Marie,

Mr. Wurzbach,
You will be deeply missed. I had the honor of being in your class for two years, and I can say they where great! You always had a big heart to help your students pass and succeed. You where an all around person. Who will missed tremendously. "Make me Proud" as you said. You've made me proud. See later Mr. Wurzbach.

His smile, the drawings, and of course the sarcasm... all will be missed. Sincerest condolences.
