Michael Harris Seltzer May 18, 1958 – April 1, 2024
Michael Harris Seltzer passed away on April 1, 2024 following a long and courageous battle with multiple health issues.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents Irving and Joan M. (Faber) Seltzer. Michael is survived by two brothers, Steven Seltzer (Cynthia Campbell) of State College and Alex Seltzer (Lisa Ciccarella) of Altoona, and a sister Alison Seltzer, also of Altoona.
