On July 16, 2021, Edward Finkle passed away surrounded by his wife,
Gloria (Pawlowski) Finkle, two daughters Jill Tucker and Sarah Wertkin and son Aaron
Finkle. Edward’s faithful and loved dog, Casey, was by his side until the end. Edward
was a beloved father-in-law to Andrew Wertkin, grandfather also known as “Pa” to Evan
Tucker, Emily (Aaron) Maiger, Jeremy Wertkin, Chloe Wertkin and Teddy Wertkin and a
great-grandfather to Bodhi Maiger. Edward and his wife had a love for the great
outdoors whether it was camping, hiking or looking for wildlife. He enjoyed the
good-natured debate on politics and supported various causes including the
conservation of the National Parks system, wildlife conservation, and the homeless and
immigration rights. Edward and Gloria celebrated their fifty years together in February
2021. If you should feel inclined to make a donation in honor of Edward please refer to
