Obituary: Charles William (Bill) Hertler
It is with great sadness the family of Charles
William (Bill) Hertler announce his passing on October 19, 2024 at the age of
82. Bill will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a beacon of love
and kindness who always put others first and dedicated his life to helping as
many people as he could.
Born in Missoula, Montana, he attended University
there and afterwards joined the Air Force serving as a F4 pilot. His experience
as an Air Force pilot evolved into a 31-year career flying for Delta Airlines.
For the past 25 years, Bill and his family have resided in Park City.
Growing up in Missoula, Bill's father shared his
passion for fly fishing with Bill, who also became a skilled fly fisherman …
one who could tease a trout out of the most unlikely waters. Along with fishing
and his appreciation of the outdoors, Bill and his wife, Cherry, found great
enjoyment in camping and became involved with a group of Park City friends
going on numerous camping trips every year.
Throughout Bill's life, he exhibited an ability to
fix almost anything. As a youth, he found and rebuilt lawn mowers, and as an
adult, honed his skills restoring cars. His skills became known by neighbors,
and he became known as the neighborhood "fix-it-man."
As a Park City resident, Bill enjoyed skiing the
mountains, and when not on the slopes, he worked part time for Deer Valley
Resort for 13 years. He also became involved with a group of mountain bikers.
His passion for speed and distance earned him the title of "Wild
Bill" among his biking friends. Bill is survived by the love of his life,
his wife Cherry, as well as sons Chris and Mark, brother Bob and sister
Carolyn. Bill's gentle nature and generously kind heart will now be enjoyed by
all those who have passed before him.
