Edward Willy

July 28, 2015
Edward M. Willy, age 62, of Cibolo, Texas passed away on July 28, 2015. His passion was history, and he was very involved with several re-enactment groups portraying Texas history at locations such as The Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto with his sons and friends. Ed loved the outdoors - he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and muzzle-loading rifles. Always learning, he could perpetually be found with a book or a tool in his hand. He worked for several businesses before opening his own machine shop called T.W. Machinery. He later took his love of tools and printing to a new level as he worked as a mechanic for both Heidelberg and later KBA Printing. He was currently employed at Caterpillar as a machinist and was looking forward to opening a sutlery business after retirement. Ed is survived by his wife of 35 years, Shani Willy of Cibolo and sons Chad and Matthew Willy both of Cibolo, and man's best friends Duke and Zeus. He is also survived by his mother, Joyce Gould, and sisters Jeanette Iverson, and Melanie Pulos, and by loving in-laws, nieces, nephews and great many longtime friends. Ed was a loving husband, a role model and a great mentor to his sons, he will be greatly missed but never forgotten. A memorial service will be held for Ed on Saturday, August 8, 2015, 11:00am, at the Schertz Funeral Home chapel in Schertz, Texas.
