Rochester, NY: Herbert Ernst Bartzsch, age 81, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Friday, September 15, 2017 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY. Herbert was born on September 4, 1936 in Güsten, Germany to Ernst & Martha Bartzsch. Herbert married his wife Inge in 1960 and were married 57 years. Herbert, often called “Herb” or “Herbie” loved to garden, play and watch soccer, swim, and play golf with friends. Herb loved to attend German festivals and events and was known as a wonderful dancer. Herb had an inevitable way of making each person he was around smile and laugh. Herbert is survived by his wife, Inge, sister Edith, sister-in-law Sabine, his son Glenn and daughter-in-law Kristen, his daughter Karen and son-in-law Charlie, and 7 adoring grandchildren: Justin, Casey, Hannah, Kyle, Lauren, Kamryn, and Garrett. Predeceased relatives include his brother Hans, of Germany. Herbert was a special man and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, please kindly consider donating to the American Diabetes Association of Rochester in memory of Herb. A private family service will take place this Sunday, September 24th.
I will miss my uncle Herb more than words can say. He made my childhood a wonderful memory. He had a great sense of humor and was never in a bad mood. He definitely loved his yard and landscaping. He also loved his family!
Uncle Herbie is very missed by my family. We had a lot of fun during all those years. Such a sense of humor even the last few months you could see it sneaking out. A wicked smile and a wink and you knew there was a joke hiding there.
I miss him very much.
I was so lucky to have had so many crazy competitive games of racketball with Herbie…I don’t remember beating him, but I
was always amazed how he didn’t have to move to win! He was always smiling. i will miss him!

My deepest Sympathy,

I worked with Herbie many years ago at Exact Tool & Die. He was a good man with a great sense of humor. I am sorry for his family’s loss.

Herb was a great guy. Herb and I played many rounds of golf together – always a great time. I first met Herb through our work relationship, and he always treated me like a son, looking out for my best interests. He will be missed.
It`s been a long time since I saw you the last time at the
” Baumblueten Fest ” in Lima.
Yes, you were smiling and entertaining the whole group
on your table.
As time goes by, the old timers of Alliance Tool & Die
are getting less and less.
Herbi, of the time I have left, you will not be forgotten.

With our deepest sympathy.
Rest in Peace!
