Erwin Nick Hertz Obituary

My father, John F Tompkins, was quite involved with Erwin during his days in Haines. One of dads memories was being the one to drive Erwin to Haines after a tree fell on top of him. During this ride from the kelsall area, Erwin passed between life and death a few times.....this experience had an immense impact on both my dad and Erwins remaining years.

Erwin was a great man, leader, teacher, and I had great respect for him.

Rest in Peace!

Erwin Hertz was one of our best friends and a wonderful neighbor while we lived in Haines, Alaska. I helped him get his book started, and spent 4 years typing and encouraging him to write his story. His book, JOURNEY TOWARD ETERNAL LIFE ALASKA STYLE! took a lot of time and trial and patience, but he and I got it done! Helping Hertz with the book was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Because of him, many people

Erwin Hertz was one of our best friends and a wonderful neighbor while we lived in Haines, Alaska. I helped him get his book started, and spent 4 years typing and encouraging him to write his story. His book, JOURNEY TOWARD ETERNAL LIFE ALASKA STYLE! took a lot of time and trial and patience, but he and I got it done! Helping Hertz with the book was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Because of him, many people will have a good journey towards Heaven! Erwin lived every detail in the book! May he rest in the arms of our Lord and be watching over his children and the people that he left behind. He is now with Jessie and Georgia, with a huge smile on his face and more laughter and joy. God go with you Hertz! You deserve eternal life! You always told me you were going to die in perfect health, and I guess that must have been the way you left earth. We will miss you so much! We love you, Jeannine and Richard Erhart
