Edward Bressler Obituary

Bressler, Edward C.
The Bressler family mourns the loss of its deeply cherished husband, father and grandfather, who died peacefully on December 27, 2010 at the age of 84. An accomplished physician, Ed was a lifelong seeker of knowledge, who found a special place in the Plato Society of UCLA. He leaves his wife Marjorie, children and grandchildren: Ellen and Gary Osheroff, Andrew and Ethan; Drs. David and Susan Adler-Bressler, Jason (Stephanie) and Julie; Mark and Kathy Bressler, Mallory, Dana, Becca, and Hillary; Kathy and Howard Siegel, Michael and Alissa. He would like everyone to know how much he appreciated his life and the people in it. We, in turn, will love and miss him always. To honor his wishes, there will be no funeral services. This will come as no surprise to all who knew him.

Marj: I am so sorry to hear that Ed passed away. Looking at your photo posted by granddaughter Hilly, I see a familiar family of love and affection, and know that they will provide much comfort to you. My favorite memory of "Dr Bressler" was when I was about 15 and he pierced my ears with a mumbled "Darn.. I have trouble getting them even".. but never fear.. they were perfect! Love to you.

Dr. Bressler was a colleague of my father's, Dr.Marvin Gasster at the Axminster Medical Group on Slauson Ave in the early 1960s. I remember Dr. Bressler as a kind and funny man who was always very friendly with us when we came to visit. Rest in Peace Dr. Bressler.....Thank you.

Grandpa, you were such a joy in my life, and you will always be remembered and missed. Between your hilariously sarcastic wit, your passion for learning, your affectionate nicknames (DanaMite, Matzo Ball, Migelito & more), your quiet compassion (I could go on and on), you truly were a blessing to have in everyone's life. I know that you struggled the past few years, but I cherished the moments that we shared together, and am thankful that you left in a peaceful way and are finally at rest. Thank you for marrying the greatest woman in the world and having my father and his siblings. You have no idea how blessed we all feel to have such a wonderful, close, fun and large family. You will live through all of us. I love you so much.

Your grandaughter,
Hilly

I was sorry to read of Ed's passing. My husband Marvin Gasster was a partner with Ed at the Axminster Medical Building many years ago. Please accept my condolences and I have fond memories of our times together. My best to the family.

It was with great sadness that I noticed Dr Ed Bressler's obituary. Please accept my condolences. Although it's been perhaps 50 years since I was a patient, I remember Dr Bressler with respect and affection. Originally I was a patient of one of the other Axminster Medical Group doctors, but after Dr Bressler began treating me for allergies, he became my everything physician. He was very kind and reassuring as I progressed into a somewhat late starting adolescence with the various concomitant issues of the teen years.
I was greatly dismayed when Ed informed me of his imminent retirement. At the time, it seemed far too early. Now as I anticipate my retirement, I have the utmost admiration for those who manage to retire sooner and younger than the norm.

It would seem that Dr Bressler had a long and fulfilling life -- which is itself a wonderful memorial.

Again, my deepest condolences.
