Benefit set for police officer's family

Chester County police officers and firefighters are working to help the family of Joshua D. Wuertz, a police officer and firefighter who died in January.

Wuertz died Jan. 19 at age 34 at The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia after a long battle with leukemia. He is survived by his wife, Shannen A. (Blevins) Wuertz, and their daughter, Lillyen.

Officer Wuertz worked for many years in the North Coventry Police Department and was also a firefighter for the Glenmoore Fire Company in Chester County.

The North Coventry Police Department is holding a fundraiser at the Norco Fire Company from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday.

The police department is selling $25 tickets for the Beef-N-Beer event. Money raised at the event will be donated to Wuertz’s family.

To purchase tickets for the event, contact North Coventry police at 610-323-8360.
