Susan and I send our condolences to Ed’s family. He was a charter member of Catholic War Veterans Post 1914 in Arden. May he Rest In Peace.
He was what love, kindness and humility is all about. A great person, and a great attribute to the Turek name.
Mrs. Turek. Sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was a fellow ham, and will be missed, by other hams, for sure. Will be unable to attend the service, but will have your family in mind at that time. Regards.
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Please do not hesitate to call on us if you need anything. Peace be with you, Deborah,Brent and family.
Always a smile in his eyes and a joke on his lips, a vist to or from Uncle Ed and Aunt Helen was really something to look forward to! I have the memories of the farm, and how he and his family opened their home to our family without a second thought….hide n’seek in the barn, the cookouts, and ‘Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree’ that Uncle Ed and my Dad wired together! And which we (my sisters and our cousin’s) knocked down by running around it playing tag!
Uncle Ed was a fine Father and husband, and a great Uncle. He was also a gentleman in the truest sense. We will miss him dearly. God Bless, Uncle Ed, we know that you are now at Home with our Savior.
Eileen, Dave, Kathy and family,
We are with you in our prayers and thoughts at this most difficult time.
God Bless you all.
