Edward S. "Chirp" Kozel

Ed, even though it wasn’t long enough, the short time I had the opportunity to care for you was a blessing in my life. You were so loved at MSM and we all miss you dearly-especially Jack, your favorite meal table mate. Have an awesome time with our Good LORD and your family in Heaven. I know JESUS was right there waiting with open arms. Condolences to the family, especially Eileen who I had the pleasure of meeting on the night the LORD called you home. She’s a great person and misses you...

My condolences to the family. Ed was a longtime friend of my family. I always enjoyed seeing him wherever The Villagers played.

From one Polka friend to another Rest in peace.Dick Yash

As a 10 year old kid, I took guitar lessons from Ed. I still remember the songs he taught me. His kindness, patience, and love of music became a lifelong gift to me.

I am so sorry for your loss sending prayers for your family I remember him playing his guitar

Chirp, you stand relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to begin, ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran.

Edward, Thank You for Your service to our country. God Bless You! God be with your family! Sincerely, A Grateful American

my condolences to the family. I remember Chirp as an avid outsdoorsman when we were in LHS together
