Iwas stationed with Ed at the 170th Ord Det (EOD), Fort Lewis, Washington from December 1957 to December 1958.
I was thinking of him today, so I "Googled" his name.
I had lost track of him over the years.
I'm so sorry to see the new had passed on.
Condolences to you Reni. My mom and I so enjoyed visiting with you and your husband up at King while visiting my dad, John Krznarich, who also passed earlier this year. Ed was such a sweet man! Our hearts and prayers go out to you!

Ed was always quick to give a big hug and a smile when we were at Calvary Luth Church together - and I enjoyed my time with both of them at Community Chorus. He will be missed! Joni Radley
Graunke Family,

My sincere condolences to you, Reni, and your wonderful family.
We have so many wonderful memories from the years we spent together in Camp. Friday night was always special as we awaited for the arrival of our dear Illinois friends before the popcorn came out. Our Saturday night communal grill out with Ed making the perfect Sweet Corn on the grill was always the highlight of summer.
Ed was the kindest and happiest person and shared that with everyone he met. May Steve also greet him in his new home.

Some of the best times in life have been with Ed and Reni. While we lived a simple life in summer trailers in Camp Cleghorn a group of us, including Ed and Reni, had so many laughs, boating and waterskiing fun, talent shows, Chain Skiers, pot lucks, popcorn nights, and just sitting around a campfire sharing family time with all our kids. We have so many fond memories that we will hang onto as we grieve the loss of our good friend.
Rest in peace...
Sue and Tom
I loved every minute of working with Ed. I started at King a year ago in Activities. He made me laugh and smile everyday. He will be dearly missed. Deepest sympathies. Maureen Neuman AH2.
