QUEENSBURY --- Adolph “Ed” C. Arzberger, 96, passed away at his home on Tuesday, July 15, 2025 with his family by his side.
Born April 14, 1929, in Queens, he was the son of Frank and Bertha (Albert) Arzberger.
Ed attended East New York Vocational School. His various jobs included auto body repair, security at Glens Falls Hospital, and driving the mammogram van throughout the area.
On May 3, 1953, Ed married Erna Bus in Queens, New York. They left the city with Erna’s parents and brother to move to Glens Falls in 1956 to establish a family business at The Hitching Post in Lake Luzerne. Ed worked there for several years doing every job needed.
Some of Ed’s enjoyments in life were building things, oil painting, golfing, and bowling. He always said, “If I can draw it, I can build it.” Ed enjoyed painting pictures, writing poems, and singing his “ditties”. He loved and appreciated our Adirondack Mountains and lakes. Most of all, Ed loved his family and he brought them great joy.
He was a proud member of the Masonic Lodge #425, Royal Arch Masons, and the Elks Lodge #81. Ed spent many hours volunteering with Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorer Scouts and the 4-H Equestrian Therapeutic Program for Warren County.
In addition to his parents, Ed was predeceased by his siblings, August (Katie) and Frank (Joan) and brother-in-law Edward (Dottie) Bus.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Erna; children, Steve (Pam) Arzberger and Diane (Craig) Goodman; grandchildren, Eric (Meaghan), Justin (Lindsay), Sasha (Maddie), Alena, and Brian (Erin); great-grandchildren, Elliot, Cooper, Isla, and Hallie, and the family is awaiting the arrival of his fifth great grandson this summer. He also leaves several nieces and nephews, cousins and a special nephew, Eddie Bus.
