Fred Imler Sr. is being remembered as a kind and generous man.
A partner in the family business, Imler’s Poultry, Imler was well known throughout the business community.
He passed away Tuesday at the age of 87.
Please see obituary on Page A4.
In 2012, Imler received the Blair County Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award for Business Excellence.
“Fred was an incredible businessman whose demeanor generated sincerity and trust. He appreciated recognition but never dwelled on it and usually deflected it to others,” Chamber President/CEO Joe Hurd said. “Is there anything greater than having a legacy based so heavily on philanthropy? Fred Imler helped those who needed the most help.”

Irving “Irv” Seltzer of Duncansville died Friday and is being remembered as a Blair County businessman, Rotarian, philanthropist and leader.
“Irv never did anything halfway. He put his heart and soul into everything he did,” said Joe Hurd, president/CEO of the Blair County Chamber. “You don’t realize until after someone is gone the void that is left by his passing.”
Altoona businessman Larry McAleer said he knew Seltzer as a client in his plumbing and heating business, as a Rotarian and friend.
“I was really, really lucky to see a lot of Irv,” McAleer said. “Irv always seemed to be calm. He didn’t rattle. He was steady all the time.”
