Herman L. Waltzer, 91, of West Mansfield, on Thursday, May 23, 2019, reunited with his angel, Alice, surrounded by his loving family at home.
Born Nov. 1, 1927, on the family homestead in Logan County near Zanesfield, he was the son of the late Edward L. and Mary Marmon Waltzer. On June 12, 1948, in Zanesfield, he married his wife of more than 68 years, Alice M. Titus and she preceded him in death on Feb. 1, 2017. He also was preceded in death by a son, Larry Waltzer; sisters, Ethel Jackson and Ida Henry; and brothers-in law, Gordon Wyandt, Robert Jackson, Dewey Ford, Bill Bialecki, Jim Copp and Paul Ramsey.
A devoted and loving husband, father, grandpa and great grandpa, Herman was a veteran of the United States Army during the Korean War, serving in Co. D 44th Tank Batallion on “Operation Cleanup.” When he returned home, he worked in plastering, carpentry, remodeling and clock repair. He and Alice were dedicated volunteers for the Friends Disaster Relief Organization which carried them all over the country helping those in need after natural disasters. They helped clean up and rebuild homes and churches. He was a member of the former Friends Church in West Mansfield and was currently attending the West Mansfield Church of Christ. In his spare time, he enjoyed cabinet making, putting puzzles together, mowing the yard, having tea parties and playing ball with his great grandkids. His deeds here have undoubtedly earned him a great reward in Heaven. As much as we didn’t want to see him go, he is in great hands and will be singing or whistling songs of praise and joy for all eternity with his wife Alice by his side.
He is survived by his children, Tina Dill and Teresa (Steve) Fields, both of West Mansfield; Tony (Gina) Waltzer of Bellefontaine and Tami (Kenny) Kline of East Liberty; grandchildren, Jason (Andrea) Keller, Jordan (Julie) Keller, Nick Waltzer, Lucas (Michelle) Waltzer, Tyler (Sabrina) Venture, Bryant Dill, Nate (Lisa) Fields and Caitie Fields; great-grandchildren, Lahna Keller, Llewyn Keller, Langston Keller, Lyle Keller, Aly Reames, Lexi Reames, Aiden Keller, Hudson Keller, Eli Keller, Isabel Fields, Ardun Fields and Emilia Waltzer; along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
Calling is from 5 to 8 p.m. today, Tuesday, May 28, at Wilson Funeral Home, Schnurrenberger Chapel 222 W. Center St., West Mansfield, where funeral services are at 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 28. Pastor Doug Copp officiates and burial follows at Zanesfield Cemetery next to his beloved wife, Alice.
