Martin P. Bertie, 83, of Upper Milford Township, died Aug. 22, 2025. Born and raised in Hazleton, he was the son of the late August Sr. and Effie (Hess) Bertie. He was a devoted husband to Linda L. (Weir) Bertie, with whom he recently celebrated 61 years of marriage.
A proud veteran of the United States Army, he went on to retire from AT&T after 42 years of dedicated service.
A longtime member of Old Zionsville United Church of Christ, he will be remembered for his signature white Hanes T-shirts, his love of landscaping, always having the right tool for the job and his cheerful willingness to always enjoy “a little something” to eat.
He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.
He is survived by his daughters, Karen Farber (Harry) and Kristen Fisher; son, Jason (Christine); grandchildren, who lovingly knew him as “Pops,” Courtney (Bruno), Darik, Logan, Zaccary, Kamron, Rebekah, Sebastian, Carina, Gianna; great-grandchildren, Aidan and Aurora.
He was predeceased by his siblings, Esther, Elva, Norma and August.
Services will be private. Schantz Funeral Home, P.C., 250 Main St., Emmaus is handling arrangements.
