I remember being introduced to Werts Restaurant when we moved to Allentown-watched the Wert's kids come into the restaurant from school. Even as young kids they were always polite-always stopped to talk or at least smile at the customers. Later on they began actually running the restaurant! It was hard to believe we were all that old! But their attitude never changed. Still polite, friendly, just good kids. They were raised well. I guess that is why it is so hard to comprehend the loss of Gregory. Such a charming young man. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Fred, Connie and Family,
Whenever we came into your restaurant, we asked about you. Greg was the perfect host and always remembered us. It was always nice to see him and exchange a few words. The last time we saw him, Freddie, he mentioned that you had just left, so we had to pay for our beer. We want you to know this is a terrible shock and a great loss, and how sorry we are for you. Our condolences go out to you all. May God please give you extra help and care during this very sad time.
With Deepest Sympathies,
