EDWARD LEONARD "ED" GEHRKE

I met you when I was a little girl. Sad to see you have passed. I hope you and my dad have rekindled. Rest peacefully Michelle

Keith,
Sorry for the loss of your father. My condolences to you and your entire family.
Sincerely,
Paul R Szalajka

Dean and Family,

Your Father's greatest achievement was heading up such a wonderful, close and loving family. That kind of mutual love and respect is hard to find these days, but your family is a shining example. The wake and Mass were a beautiful, very personal, heartfelt tribute to your Dad. I know you'll all miss him terribly, but you can take comfort in knowing that his love for you is forever.

Dean,

I just read this online. My sincere sympathy to you and your family for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ed entertained and educated me with his life stories and his endless knowledge. I lived several houses away from him and he always liked to shop our neighborhood garage sales and chat. He had a hilarious sense of humor, a refreshing view of living life and a smile oh and of course a new joke! He loved his family and Keith's dog! We shared the same love of dogs and I remember him mentioning that dog. He always made a point to stop and say hi or wave as he sped off in his Nissan. I will really...
