Edwin Wojciechowski Obituary
Dear brother to Eugene (Barbara) Wojciechowski, (late) Leonard (Jackie) Wojciechowski, Lorraine Wojciechowski and Joann (George) Gorecki. Devoted uncle to Marc, Jennifer, (late) Danny, Michael, Brian, Debbie, Lisa, Frank, Cathy, Lenny, Timmy, Kelly and Debbie and many great-nieces and nephews.
Ed was a true family man who embraced all the young people who entered his life – his favorite activities with them were pumpkin carving, attending his grandchildren's sporting events and telling stories. He was also an avid fisherman with many great tales of going to Canada and Bass & Gill Club. His passion was to bring life to his garden and knew where every plant or flower came from in his yard. His love of travel brought him to many places worldwide, but his favorite trip was to Italy. He will be missed by the many whose lives he touched.
Private family service at a future date due to COVID-19 restrictions.
In honor of Ed's life, donations will be accepted by the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans at: http://helpaveteran.org/donate
Arrangements entrusted to Adolf Funeral Home, 630-325-2300, www.adolfservices.com.

Our entire family is so saddened by the new of Ed's passing.
Ed & Jean moved into their new home next door to us about 23 years or so ago when our twins were just a few years old. A couple years later our youngest son was born.
God absolutely blessed us with them as neighbors that became like family to us! Their patience & interest in our 3 young boys warmed our hearts! Ed was ALWAYS interacting with them in the most genuine way- and always asking them about their schoolwork or sports- often times bringing over newspaper articles on them that he clipped out of the paper.
We will never forget the time that I was running late at work and our youngest was home alone (one of the first times) and a bit uneasy. He walked over to 'Mr. Ed's' and without hesitation, Ed invited him in. Our son ended up chatting away eating ice cream with Ed until I made it home! We could not have asked for a sweeter neighbor/friend to have shared in our boys growing up through these years with!
We will always remember Ed's sweet smile & bright blue eyes- and the way they would light up when he spoke of his kids and grand kids and all of their successes. He was always so filled with joy when talking about them!
We are filled with fond memories of watching Ed enjoy and care for his magnificent yard- and how he would share. We still have hosta and rose bushes in our own yard that we appreciate even more so now.
Ed will forever be in our hearts and fond memories- love and prayers to 'Miss Jean' and family - thank you for sharing Ed with us through the years. It was a privilege that we will cherish forever.
Love,
The Kirkman Family

Mr. Ed and Mrs. Jean were mine and my brothers next door neighbors all throughout our childhood and growing up. Mr. Ed was always welcoming, patient, and friendly towards us. I dont know how he put up with all of the semi-annual popcorn/cookie dough sales, the summer days of random kids running and hiding in his yard playing home tree, and the late night basketball games in the street - but he did so with a big smile on his face and you can always count on being welcomed into his house just to catch up. Heaven gained another beautiful soul this week! Our love and prayers go out to Mrs. Jean and the rest of the family.
