Edward G. Cashimer

He is survived by his wife Christina and two sons, Matthew of Lakewood, Colorado and Jonathan of Bath, Maine. He was born in Hazleton on September 10, 1955 to George and Ann Marie (Kostic) Cashimer. He grew up in Freeland and enjoyed playing baseball, hunting and fishing. He was also a member of the volunteer of the Freeland Fire Department and Ambulance. He attended Penn State Worthington Scranton and got a degree in Computer Science. He met his wife Christina at her brother’s wedding and were married in 1978. His son Matthew was born in 1982 and Jonathan followed in 1985. He and the family moved to Colorado in 2000 to work for IBM. He retired in 2012 from IBM to open a Christmas store called Rudolph’s Landing, as this was his dream. Ed was never one for just sitting around. He loved traveling and exploring new places, and also going fishing on a lazy afternoon. He was a lifelong Phillies fan and became a Rockies fan when he moved to Colorado. His last trip to the ballpark was in February where he fulfilled his lifelong dreams to hold a Major League Baseball Bat and to sit in a MLB dugout. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Ann Marie (Kostic) Cashimer.
