Ed was born December 7, 1913 in St. Mary’s, Kansas. He served our country as a pilot in WWII in the Army Air Corps. Ed was preceded in death by his parents, three siblings and his wife, Dorothy. He is survived by his three children (Penny, Mimi, and John), five grandchildren (James, Cindy, Rick, Chris and Kim), and eight great-grandchildren (Hayden, Riley, Tyler, Faelynne, Gavin, Logan, Grant and Ivy) and many nieces and nephews.

Ed attended Laneri High School in Ft. Worth and Rockhurst College. He was part owner of North American Chemical Co., and after retirement had a second career as a Real Estate Agent. We’ll miss his zest for life, wonderful sense of humor and the fact that he was so proud of his Potawatomi Indian heritage.
