HENRY BEITLER
Henry was a wonderful man who served both God and Country honorably. Below is his obituary that was printed in the Morning Call. Most members of OZUCC don't get this much attention but Henry wasn't like most members. Henry (and his wife June) not only gave his all but he taught us so many lessons not only to members of OZ UCC but with everyone he came in contact with. He was a friend to all and he will be greatly missed. As we celebrate his life and remember him dearly, we are glad he is now with his beloved wife, June, at home with God and his son Jesus.
