Born in Detroit on September 17, 1929, hard work was a way of life whether working in the family bakeries at an early age, studying piano or attending evening automotive repair classes at Cass Tech after work. After serving in the United States Army during the Korean War, Edwin returned to live in Redford Michigan for many years before moving to Ada in 2004. Edwin enjoyed playing the piano, helping others with automotive repairs and spending time with family and friends in the outdoors. His work ethic and sense of humor will be lovingly remembered by all that knew him. 

A memorial service will be held at St. Robert of Newminster (6477 Ada Dr SE, Ada, MI 49301) at a later date with details to be shared with family and friends. 

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Saint Ann’s and Emmanuel Hospice.
