Gerald Gurtz Obituary

Dear Marlene, Tracey, and Frank. I was so sorry and sad when my mom told me that Jerry had passed away. I have such wonderful memories of hanging out with all of you guys. Jerry had a great sense of humor, was very generous, and kind. I will always remember the trips to camp, the candy store, and other adventures. We had a lot of great times all of us together. I always think about how he made me walk on his back, now that I make my son walk on my back. My childhood would not have been the same without all of the memories I have with Jerry and you guys. I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time and will see you soon.

To Marlene & family: Please accept our sincere condolences. May God give you great strength to deal with the loss of your dear husband and father. Bernie (Marvin's brother)and Joan Lucas

Mrs. Gurtz,

I met Gerry in 1988 at Gurtz Electric office. Over the past years he has been a mentor to me. I will miss his smile, laugh and jokes. I spent many hours in his office listening to Gerry's advice about business and family issues. If I had a chance for a second dad Gerry would be that person. I like most people will miss Gerry and he will not be forgotten.

Deepest Sympathy,

Dear Marlene, Tracy, Frank,and your families,



I was so sorry to hear your sad news. I still have such fond memories of spending so much of my childhood at your ever welcoming house where your dad always seemed to have a smile for everyone. I wish you strength - my thoughts are with you.

Marlene and family,

To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die. My deepest

sympathy on your loss.
