He was a well-known attorney who practiced law in Jacksonville for 52 years as a sole practitioner.
He was active in the Jewish community and was a former president of the Jacksonville Area Golf Association. He graduated from Cumberland Law School in Birmingham, AL before moving to Jacksonville where he raised his family and began his law practice.
His passions were golf and the Florida Gators. Edward was known for his keen sense of humor and for giving affectionate nicknames to members of his family. In turn, he was lovingly known as “Mentor.”
Edward is survived by his wife Bunny Sher Witten, daughters Mauri Mizrahi (Alan), Laura Gittleson (Matt), grandchildren Ryan, Max, Zach, Shana, Theo, sisters Harriet Seldes and Helen Burger and many nieces and nephews.
Graveside Funeral Service will be held at the New Center Cemetery 43rd and Liberty Streets at 11am. With Rabbi Jonathan Lubliner officiating
