EDWARD F. RYBKA

Was just thinking of Ed and wondered if he was still with us. Ed was a regular in cardiac rehab at Cleveland Clinic when I worked there. He had a wonderful happy personality that everyone loved. Continue to RIP, Ed

Please accept our condolences on the passing of that sweet, lovely, and always funny man, your grandfather, husband and father. And about his life and passing remember the words of Dr.Seuss who said: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

I am sorry to hear of Edward's passing. I offer my condolence to the Family. A friend from high school and before.

I can only begin to imagine loss that Ed, Bob, Jan and all of the other members of the Ed's family must feel. He was such a larger-than-life person and so good to others. I am grateful for the years I was able to work with him when I worked a CABOR.

Ed, I hope that your family in general--and your mother in particular-- can draw upon good memories of your father and humurous stories involving him to assist you in these difficult times.

Ed, Janine and family: Mr. Rybka was just a terrific person. Diane, of course, has known him for so many years as a Slavic Village resident. I had the good fortune of meeting him years later. The world was and is a better place for him having been here.
Our sincere and heartfelt condolences for your loss. Mark and Diane

We will all miss this kind and loving man,he was an inspiration to so manyHe is in our prayers
