The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

Mr. Bortz was one of my favorite high school teachers in Hamburg. I was sorry to learn of his passing. He was my home room teacher in 9th grade. I also took courses in General Science and math from him. He encouraged my interest in science and provided me with information on performing some science experiments on my own. When I learned in subsequent years that he had been a B-17 bomber pilot in WWII, my admiration and respect for Mr. Bortz increased still further. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to visit with him and his wife Kathryn on several occasions on my trips back to Hamburg. On one visit he showed me his military flight log and other related military documents. On my last visit in October 2013 he recommended a book of B-17 bomber stories in which his name and a photo appeared. I will always remember Mr. Bortz and his influence on my life.
