Arthur E. "Ed" Oestereich

It does not seem like my very good friend , Ed , has been gone that long. He was liked by all that knew him. What a super person, I am very proud to have been a friend of his. Rest in peace my friend!

Uncle Ed is a great soul. He will bring laughter to those of us already in heaven. He will rejoice in being reunited with family and friends. I imagine he is still greeting people in a long line - welcoming him to his new home. My heart is with Aunt Esther and their kids who remain here. I only hope he is out of pain, and passing out the beer. Is there beer in heaven? Hope the song is wrong. Love all the Oestereichs like family. Loved Uncle Ed like a father. May he be in peace and...

My most sincere sympathy to the Oesterich family.

I watched my Pop for many years and learned how be a person of character with dignity, honor and respect for God, family and country. My Pop set the benchmark. I will miss him always and will love him forever. It was an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to care for him late in life. We spent many hours together and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I wouldn't be the man I am without him.
I love you Pop! Godspeed and have fun at the ballpark with Grandpa, Sonny and...

You will be missed so much, Grandpa. I'm so lucky to have a lifetime of wonderful memories, and to know I was loved by you. Your spirit will live on through the stories we tell. I hope you have a beer in hand, listening to the Cardinals win, and teasing everyone around you in heaven. Love you always.

Uncle Ed was a true American hero. Our family was blessed by having him in our lives. He taught us about love and the importance of family. A gentle giant with a heart of gold. He brought laughter into our lives and protected each and everyone of us with his strength, he encouraged us to do our best, learn from our mistakes and to take pride in who we are. Thank you Uncle Ed. Knowing you are home again with family, safe with Jesus makes your passing somewhat easier..Rest in Peace dear...

I'm sorry for your loss.

My prayers and LOVE for my brother and family will be with me until my Lord calls me home to be with them. Bro. Ed was the Patriarch for years in our family and will be missed by all. Although I could not be there in body, I am in prayer and spirit.
