Pani Zosiu, Xenia , Adam and Harris,

We were deeply saddened and touched by the sudden passing of Pan Palus.  We were delighted to reconnect with you all last summer--Pan Palus was in excellent form, full of energy and, as always, with a great sense of humor.  After three decades, we consider Pan Edward not just a close friend, but member of our family.

As a young family, just emigrated from Poland, we were welcomed into the Palus family with exuberance.  Pani Zosia and her Edek generously aided us, as well as numerous other new Americans, as we started our life in this country.   If your meager apartment needed a table or lamp, Pani and Pan Palus were ready to help. Pan Edward’s and Pani Zosia’s famous hospitality created a sort of salon of the Polish expat community in Columbus and we cherish all the moments we spent together over the years.  Thank you again for all the Wigilia gatherings at Xenia’s home where everybody was welcomed and treated like family.  It helped us so much to survive the separation from our homeland.

We will miss you Mister Palus!  We will remember you as a decent, good man 
of principles, a great patriot and a lovely human being with a great sense of humor.

May God bless you in your sorrow.

Teresa, Waldemar, Ania, Krzys and Milusia Priebe

Dear Sonya and Xenia,

Shirley and I were shocked to read of Ed's passing.  Our hearts and prayers are with you.   When I think of your husband and father this is what comes to mind.  Ed was one of the most professional military officer that I had the opportunity to serve under.  I assumed his Command that was in excellent condition.  We are happy to have known Ed and his wonderful family.  We extend our deepest sympathy.

                                                Love,

                                          John L. Carter
                                          Colonel, US Army, Retired

So sorry bout your loss. From fellow Bingo players.

Dear Sophie and Family,  My daughter and I looked forward to Saturday bingo at USEP to see the both of you. We always looked forward to Ed's corny jokes that made us laugh, what a great way to always start our weekend!  My daughter and I deeply sorry for the loss of Ed, but we know his sprit will never leave.  In Gods Love, Hope and Jenny

Mrs. Palus, Xenia, Harris & Adam,

We have fond memories of a wonderful man.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

I'm going to miss this wonderful man. His love for life and family was ever present. He absolutely adored Sonja (Miss Sophie). Heaven just gained a wonderful angel. He will be missed terribly. My prayers are with you all.

I will always remember visiting Ed at the Fort Hayes Reserve center and sharing with him both matters military and Polish. He and Sonja were always backers of our Slavic programs at Ohio State.  It was always a delight to be in his presence, I recall fondly his cheer and definite love of life.  He will be missed!
    
Wieczne odpoczywanie,

Ed was without a doubt one of the most memorable people in my life.  He was the full-time Army Unit Technician in the Army Reserve unit that I commanded.  For years he and I had a friendly bet for the Ohio State vs. Michigan football game.  Back in those days he won more than I did!  He was very dedicated to his duties in the military and worked hard each and every day to make the unit better for the Soldiers.  

I am saddened to learn of Ed's passing, but am comforted by the fact that I knew him and had the opportunity, no the honor, to work with him.  

With deepest sympathy to his wife and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Fred Schnitzspahn

Dear Xenia,

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Father , Daughter relationships are so unique, and it sounds as though you and your father shared that type of closeness. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sonja and Xenia, 

Paulette and I and AT, Katie and Cliff are so very sad at Ed's passing. As you know Ed was like a second Father to Paulette and they got along so very well. We will never forget the great times we had visiting with you and Ed on Sundays to hear of his stories of the farm and all of the other tales. We won't forget that Ed and Paulette together started the tradition of the blessing of Easter food on Holy Saturday at IC.  I know Paulette won't forget that she sat with Ed a couple weeks ago at Mass at IC, a gift from God that she got to see him one more time. We wont forget that you and Ed came to AT's graduation from John Carroll. Or the many times Ed brought vegetables and other goodies from the farm. He always took an interest in what everybody around him was doing. We will not forget that Ed saw Katie and Cliff get married. He was truly a unique individual and we will miss him dearly. But no one in the Conlisk Family will ever forget him. 

All the best to the Palus family. Ed was a great man!

Paulette, Terry, AT, Katie and Cliff

Dear Sonja and Family,
All of us at B T Bingo are saddened to hear of Ed's passing.  We always looked forward to seeing him come through our door.  He had a larger than life presence and treated  us to his wit and humor.  We will miss him so much but feel fortunate that we had so many good times with him.  He was unique in every way and we will honor his memory with smiles and admiration for the wonderful man he was.  We are thinking of you, Sonja, and send our warmest, healing thoughts to you as you adjust to life without him.   

Linda, Ian, Beth, Teri and entire B T family

Xenia, Harris, Adam, and Mommy Sonja,
His memory and spirit will forever be reflected in your hearts. May God's love bless you all.
Love,
Heidi

Xenia

All my thoughts for you and your family.  Many many condolences.

My Uncle Eddie had a zest for life, an energy about him that made him wise beyond his years, although most recently, the tide was slowly shifting and the years were beginning to catch up.  He was a man of many talents, who, over the course of his lifetime, wore many hats with many different looks, and managed to pull off each and every one with a sense of flair.  He gallantly served his country with pride and distinction through good times and bad times.  He was a multinational-global traveler before it was in vogue to be a multinational global traveler.  He was feisty and unforgettable.  

In spirit, he was a big part of my life when I was growing up.  He was my mom’s baby brother. I remember the letters they exchanged during his tours in Vietnam.  He loved our children and they loved him.  He called our son Patrick, “Birdseed,” and our daughter, Amanda fondly recalls the stories, bantering and, at times, friendly bickering as shared by Uncle Ed and Aunt Sonja.   

He was more than a genuinely unique man, more than my role model, more than my Uncle, he was my Hero.  Uncle Eddie, yours was a life well lived!  Love, Tony
