Edward was a strong and resilient person through the age of 89, but he struggled over his last two years.

As the oldest child of three, Edward helped his family overcome these dangers. He participated in the earliest years of the building of the State of Israel. He was a talented textile chemist and played beautiful piano melodies from memory. He worked hard his whole life to provide for his family. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and was loved by many people. He was friendly and charming. He loved to collect antiques and had the skill to fix and repair them to their original condition. He had the patience to take apart and repair watches, as well. He had beautiful gardens while living in both Las Vegas and Massachusetts, hummingbirds used to land on his hand and many birds owed their winter survival to him. Edward loved all animals and always had a loyal dog at this side. Graveside services will be held at 12:00PM on Thursday October 1, 2020 at King David Memorial Chapel and Cemetery, 2697 E.
