Edward Andrew Eissa

Edward Andrew Eissa, age 99, passed away May 22, 2021. Devoted husband of the late Connie Eissa. Son of Paul and Jenny Eissa. Father to Randall B Eissa and father-in-law to Carolyn Eissa. Grandfather of Lilia and Annmaria Schmidt. Brother to the late Amelia (Paul) Kimaid and Pauline (Oscar) Kanan. Uncle to Robert (Sharon) Kimaid, Betty (Barry) Romeo, Ronald (Sharon) Kimaid, Janet (Jim) Sabodos, Joseph Kanan, Thomas (Janet) Christman, the late Jim Christman and his wife Karen. Great uncle to James and Jodi Christman, Erika and Michael Christman, Michelle Gould, Mark (Lauren) Sabados, Michael (Josie) Kimaid, John (Bethann) Kimaid, Melissa (Adam) Richardson, Karen (Jerry) Lender, Alan (LouAnn) Mabrak, and Lynn (Richard) Freeman.

He owned and operated Randall Men’s Wear - a clothing store with his wife Connie for over 40 years. He was very calm and easy to talk to. Many people liked to confide in him. He would frequent a small diner across from the men’s store called Elmo’s. He would often talk with the Patrons One Group, a Detroit Motorcycle Group, and where he got his nickname “Uncle Ed”.

After he closed the Men’s Store, he often helped out Connie and her family at their store called The Linan Gift Shop. But what he liked best of all was working at Century 21 Villa - his son and daughter in law’s real estate company. Many of the employees soon found out his kind and loving nature. They also would whisper their problems in his ear.

After he got out of work, he enjoyed going to the casino with his cousins (the late Ray Mabarak and his wife Delores). He also enjoyed Sunday dinner at his sister Pauline and Oscar’s home. And yes - there was always either a poker game or pinochle hand dealt.

He was a kind, protective, and loving husband and father who will be missed very much by all.

Visitation for Edward will be Thursday from 3 PM until 8 PM at A.H. Peters Funeral Home, 20705 Mack Ave, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236. A prayer service will be held at 5 PM at the funeral home and visitation to continue afterwards.
