Dear brother of Carol (Dennis) Suder and Len (Debra) Loch. Ed was a proud veteran of The United States Navy, serving on the USS Alfred A. Cunningham, and a member of the Tin Can Sailors National Association. Ed married his sweetheart in 1960 and they had three children while living in Brighton Park. They built their dream home in Hickory Hills in 1966, added two more children to the family, and became long time parishioners of St. Patricia Church, where all of the children attended school. Ed’s successful sales career resulted in starting his own company, OmniPrint Services, which he ran until his final days. Ed was a life-long Bears fan, an avid fisherman, and loved to putter in his garage and fix everything himself. Services will take place on Monday, April 6th as a private service and he will be laid to rest next to his beloved wife Evelyn at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Justice. A memorial service will be held at a later date. For info please call 877/974-9201 or 815/462-0711, and online at www.Orricofuneral.com
