Edward C. Kubes Sr.

You Sir, and your family have been an important part of my childhood! One of my MOSTEST FONDEST MEMORIES IS YOUR CONTIGUOUS SMILES AND YOUR ADORABLE DIMPLES! Second up is taking that red pedal fire truck, for a spin around your backyard! Your beautiful wife Delores and your family "Happy Holiday Wishes" Oh! And this! Watching you and my Daddy (Walter Comstock) snow blow the "Hood Out." It was amazing, as a young girl watching, you two fellows making the snow fly! With Love, Deritha Comstock...

Uncle Ed (or the "Silver Headed Fox" as we called him affectionately down in Texas)was one of the most interesting and lovable people (much less family)that we ever had the privilege to interact with over the last 50 + years. Of all the people we knew , he had the ability to reprimand you and at the same time make you think he was giving you a compliment. His unique grin, talking mannerisms and ability to spin tall tales were legends to all of his nieces and nephews down south.

I just learned of Ed's death last week when I got a haircut from Jake, the current owner of Harvard Barbers. I arrived at the U of M as a freshman in the Fall of 1968 and discovered Harvard Barbers sometime during that year. Every haircut I've had since then, with only 2-3 exceptions, has been at Harvard Barbers. I even got at least one haircut from Ed jr. when he worked their for a brief time. Ed and Duane were friendly and always interested in what was going on in my life. Both of my boys...

I was saddened to learn this morning of Cousin Ed's death.

As a young boy, I remember taking the bus with my grandpa, Ben Frolik, to Harvard Barbers to practice the art of chatting and hanging out and, oh yah, get a haircut. On some occasions, we just walked over which generally involved a stop at the Viking Bar for a beer afterwards. From then until my mid-20s I frequently got my hair cut by Ed or his partner, Duane.

The 60s and early 70s were lean years for barbers as college...

I was very sadden to hear about the loss of such a dear sweet man. Ed was there for my family and I when we loss our father. I would go and visit Ed and Doris with my mom all the time. We had so much fun over at the house. I remember going into the basement and sitting in the barber chair that he had, sitting out on the porch and in the back yard. He will be sadly missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kubes family.

ED,was the best brother a sister could ever ask for, was always there for me, if I ever needed to talk he was ready to listen, and me give advisce. It is so hard to think that time with my brother is to a end,I miss him so much, and always will. Mary Jane

I met Ed at the clinic where I work. He was a very distiguished, great looking, yet extremely sweet gentelman. He had very loving and caring children, his daughter who was with him everytime I saw him is beautiful and very sweet herself. I was quite saddened to hear that Mr. Ed Kubes had passed away, and I know that his family and anyone that knew him will miss him more than anyone could know. Remember the words in the Bible - "Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming when all those in...

I only just met this wonderful man. And this was not at his best. I was able to see his wonderful smile and kind words.He and his family has touch me. I have heard such wonderful stories from Karen. I am just real blessed to have met you all. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.
