Hartwich was a 1973 graduate of Onaga High School and was a member of the undefeated Onaga football team. He was later inducted into the Onaga High School athletics hall of fame.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in Wamego. A visitation with family and friends is scheduled Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Campanella & Stewart Funeral Home.
