April 16, 2022 was a very sad day for me and the Family as we layer to rest my Favorite Uncle, Uncle Sonny.  Most everyone called his Ed, but my whole life he has been my Uncle Sonny.  There are so many wonderful memories as he has been a very important part of my entire life!  His train set up he and his friends had, the guys taking us ice skating , the family coming to Arizona, seeing them on our move out to Arizona (was hoping Jennifer would be born before we moved so we could see her!),  that he was able to be here for Emily and Shelby’s wedding, watching him sit with Mathew pouring over our Family Tree, seeing his love for his Brother, Dick, watching TV with Jim and I cheering for GCU basketball, notes about the sports teams, having him here for dinner on those Sundays he was in town, on and on.  I will miss our Sunday dinner when he was in town for the winters, hearing him laugh, him not getting to know Joshua and Ella (they are something!), and just sharing his love!! My strongest memories of him are of the time he was going to take Auntie Phyllis, Susan and I to the zoo.  His car caught fire as we were leaving the house, so Uncle Art Jip took us in a care no one knew he had, that had a whole in the floor, and he dropped us off in the middle of the busy street.  BUT my best memory is when Gram, Mother, Don, Susan and I rode in his first car!  We were all downtown for a movie (that was where yo had to go to see a movie then), for what reason I can’t remember, we needed a ride home.  It was cold, windy and all of us plus Uncle Sonny and his friends in a convertible!  I got to ride in the front, Don sat on the lap of one of the friends with his hand on his head to hold his hat on, and Gram in the back seat with a stern face because of the top being down and it being cold.  Uncle Sonny had such a smile!!  We will miss you greatly!! You are with the The Lord and all of your loved ones who preceded you. This gives me comfort. Love you always!!

So many memories…….
All beginning in the 80’s n 90’s…..
I was blessed to share celebration’s,
Holidays and yes a couple of vacation’s  with the Harbart’s and Wismar’s…..Ed’s foundation for life  and loving the Lords gifts to man  truly has filtered down to all he met …..
His presence will now be with his 
Lord and Savior ….
But, oh the memories we will all have 🙏


I knew Ed from living on the same street as he did in Strongsville.
He volunteered for our HOA and was often one of the voices of reason while serving on the board.  I remember him as being respectful and friendly and smart,  Just a really nice guy.  My condolences to his family  I am sure he will be missed by man

Your father was one of the best friends my father (Jack Stones) ever had, they spent many hours together travelling together for business.  
He will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him.  Janice Ray

My first Arizona experience would not have been complete without Ed’s caring nature. For spring break my roommate (his granddaughter - Krista) and I visited his home in Scottsdale that he willingly invited us to. It would not have been fulfilling without his compassionate personality and great tour guide skills! Ed showed us everything he enjoyed - art galleries, beautiful views, topgolf, great eateries, and more. There were many warm, lifelong memories created on that trip, and that wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Ed’s kind and gentle nature. My prayers are with the family at this time.
