Kurt E. Yerg
August 26, 1942 — September 29, 2019
Kurt E. Yerg, 77, of Petersburg, NY, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 29, 2019 at his home after a short term illness.
He was born in Hildesheim, Germany, he was the son of the late Erwin and Elsie Yerg.
Kurt and his family immigrated to the U.S. in 1952 and lived in Long Island. Married Carol Burgun in 1968. In 1971 moved to upstate New York with wife and children.
Worked at Graphic Techniques as a draftsman for 26 years. He then went on to become an electrician with a few different companies. He has been an independent contractor for the last several years before his passing.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Carol F. (Burgun) Yerg; two children, Carol C. Yerg, and Kelly (Yerg) Littlejohn and husband William of Latham; two grandchildren, Mitchel and Rhyan Littlejohn; sister Heidi Steinle and nephew Richard Steinle (Corinne); and a lot of dear friends.
He was a United States ARMY veteran. He was also a member of multiple organizations, some for over 40 years, such as the Elks lodges, American Legion, the Masons, and the Shriners.
He was a well-liked, unique man who was one of a kind. He was always a hard-working man that always did so much for others, asking nothing in return. He had a sense of humor and lived for today. Always had great stories and conversations, and wholeheartedly a genuine man. He was always making everyone laugh right up until the very end. There are so many great memories with family and friends that we will all cherish forever and you all know who you are as there are just too many to mention!
With respect, in honoring his wishes, there will be no services and his remains will lay to rest at home. We want you to know how much we love you and will miss you, until we see you again! There will be a celebration of his life in the near future. So in closing, the most appropriate way to end is with this: Ein Prosit, ein Prosit, Der Gemütlichkeit (A toast, a toast, To cheer and good times) … Zicke, zacke, zicke, zacke, Hoi Hoi Hoi (A toast, a toast, a cozy place! One, two, three drink).
