I am deeply sorry for the loss of your father, brother, grandfather, and friend. Mr. Wetzel was such a kind and gentle soul. He was truly a special person, and I feel blessed to have known him. He was my favorite custodian at Northern Lehigh, always there with a smile and ready to lend a hand, especially when we were locked out of our lockers. More than that, he was a great listener, and I´ll always treasure the conversations we shared. His warmth and generosity will never be forgotten. Rest peacefully, Mr. Wetzel. You will be missed more than words can express.
