It fills me with immense sorrow to hear of Mr. Rork's passing. I was a customer at Logan Square Auto Care, and whenever I called the shop it was always great to hear Mr. Rork answer the phone with "Logan Square Auto Care, this is Ed". His knowledge in the field of automotive repair was unrivaled, and he was a gentleman. I will miss him. 

I met Ed when he had the Marathon business.  I could always trust them and the work that was done on my vehicles.  Ed was always friendly with a warm smile.  My condolences to the family.  

I am sorry to hear of Ed's passing.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rork family.  I met Ed when we were invited to attend  his wedding to my cousin April.  My friend played music at their wedding.  We visited Ed and April at their lake side home several times.  It was always fun to spend time with them.  He will be missed.  

I met Ed when he was a Marathon dealer and worked on my cars.  I always trusted him and admired how he did business there and later at his Logan Square Auto Care business.  We became friends and that friendship grew over the more than 20 years we knew each other.  I’m saddened by his death but grateful for our years of friendship.
My heart goes out to the family he loved.  Jim Dalley


Ed was a very nice guy. Whenever i took my car to  his  shop to have something fixed, I would take him out to lunch and he was fun to talk to and listen to.. Ed will be missed.  Rip my friend

To my friend Ed.
Your friendship over the years has met a lot to me. Your kindness and honesty has restored my faith in mankind. You have always treated me and my family with respect and kindness. Your ability to make people feel welcome and your willingness to go the extra mile to satisfy a costumer will always be remembered and appreciated. Thank You for being a honest businessman with integrity. But most of all. Thank You for being my FRIEND. RIP my friend.

My family (Sharon, Preston, Celeste) were honored to have this wonderful person’s business provide us with such personal and professional services when out automobiles were in need of repair. The customer services rendered to our family was top notch, Mr. Rork lived his faith and show the agape kind of love we all needed. What a “Mighty Man of Valor” to have crossed our path briefly. Now as he has taken his earthly rest, God will say, “Well done thy good and faithful servant. The Scott & Starks family.

Knew Ed for many years until I moved.  I trusted him to service my vehicles and he was a good friend on top of that.   Loved his 58 Chevy.  Rest in Peace.  

My sincerest condolences to all the family and friends of Ed.  Truly sorry we have lost him.  I have known Ed and Jean for years.  I remember when they built their dream house - Jean invited me over for homemade cookies and a tour.  Ed was one of those who quietly did many kind and good things for others.  For example, when I lived on Baker Street, I'd mentioned trying to help some of the families who were struggling through the neighborhood group.  Ed and Jean called me and donated a beautiful bicycle to a little guy named Michael.  To me, they both were unsung heroes.  May God bless him, and he rest in Heaven.   I believe that he and Jean are together again.  ❤  

I met Ed along with jim,John and Jean in 1999.I worked for them and along them intermittently until 2006.I was lucky and fortunate to have known and befriended them as a now  former employee,a car repair client,and friend.I live out of state now and thankful they spoke on behalf as references on where I work now.I tried to remain in touch the last 16 years now.they were decent and gracious with my wife and daughter.Ed will not be forgotten.just like jean. Sincerely james,Morgan,and Emma Hixson.previously from Lansing mich. Now in Missoula Montana.

My Dad-in-law was exceptional. 
I firmly believe it was his mid-west small town upbringing that brought forth his strong morals and ethics that transcended into a well lived life with integrity. 

Dad graduated from Kansas State University, earning a B.A. in Business. He was in the Glee Club, something I once teased him. He gave me a sample of his baritone voice and it was pretty impressive. 

Dad took his Grampa duties seriously and was an intrical figure in Heather & Tyler's childhoods. He was present at many school events; from 3rd grade Grandparent's Day to high school band and symphony concert to ball games. The memories created will be cherished for the rest of their lives. 

He was my Dad when I didn’t have a Dad. He purposely stepped into these shoes without hesitation in 1989 and remained even after the divorce. He gave me advice, encouragement, and emotional support and safety as I frightfully navigated single-Motherhood. 

This is how good men live. With humility and kindness and honor and respect and he took on unexpected responsibility without a second thought and without complaint. How lucky can a girl get?? He was amazing!! 

Thank you for calling me your daughter. I am forever grateful. 


Family Camp-Lone Duck Campground, CO in July, 2011.

Eddie, as I never stopped calling him, was my hero brother, my guardian and protector. He was 6 years older and pretty much excelled in everything. He played football, was in vocal music, band, took piano but didn't want to practice-said he always regretted that, and I can't remember how many cars he had! He taught me to put pork and beans and potato chips on sandwiches...
I love him dearly and miss him so much.
Love you Eddie Bear-Dana

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I'm sorry to see we have lost Ed. He was always helpful in solving
and maintaining our cars.The boys have our sincere sympathy.
