In Memóriám REVEREND IMRE A. BERTALAN LIGONIER, PA - Mem­bers of Branch 8 John­stown, Pa., and through­out the Association were saddened by the recent death of Rev. Imre A. Ber­talan, executive director of Bethlen Communities. Rev. Bertalan, 67, passed away Aug. 29, 2017, in Excela Health Latrobe (Pa.) as a result of complica­tions from cancer. A state­ment on Bethlen Com­munities' Facebook page called Rev. Bertalan, "a true visionary" who "was instrumental in grow­ing the company and its services." "Those who knew and loved Rev. Bertalan have lost a wonderful indi­vidual who was kind and caring and was able to see the good in all. Rev. Berta­lan, a true humanitarian, will be forever remem­bered for fully embracing the spirit of living in his daily life." He was bom Oct. 4, 1949, in New Brunswick, N.J., son of the late Imre G. and Margaret Kosa Bertalan. He graduated from Rutgers University in New Brunswick and from the Princeton Semi­nary in New Jersey. He was an ordained clergy­man for both the Hungar­ian Reformed Church of America and the Calvin Synod of the United Church of Christ. After graduating from seminary in 1977, he worked as a community organizer in Toledo. He would go on to serve as a minister in a Toledo church and later in a church in Allen Park, Mich. In 1999, Rev. Bertalan moved to the Ligonier area to assume his duties at Bethlen Communities. He was active in the Li­gonier Valley, serving as a former president of the Rotary Club of Ligonier. He was a member of the Ligonier Valley Associa­tion of Churches and the Ligonier Valley Ministe­rial Association. He was married to Magdalene Ujvagi, who immigrated to the U.S. in December 1956, a month after the end of the Hun­garian uprising against the Soviet Union. In addition to his wife of 37 years, he is survived by four daughters, Julia of Toledo, Ohio, Sara Davis of Toledo, Magda Berta­lan of Madison, Wis., and Margit Bertalan of Fay­etteville, N.C.; a son, Imre E. Bertalan of Toledo; and five grandchildren. A celebration of his life service will be held at a later date. The family suggests memorial contributions be made in Rev. Bertalan's memory to the Bethlen Communities, 125 Kalas­­say Drive, Ligonier, PA 15658. We ask you to pray for Rev. Bertalan and all our recently departed members listed here: AUGUST 2017 0008 JOHNSTOWN, PA Michael Kusinko 0009 HAZLETON, PA Joseph Wargo 0014 CLEVELAND, OH Elizabeth Bauserman 0016 PERTH AMBOY, NJ Marie Virág 0018 LINCOLN PARK, Ml Cheryl R.
