?“Buddy” (Edward Louis) Ulrich, 71, of Reading, PA transcended into the cosmos on October 8, 2020; his two loving daughters were by his side. Born on November 9, 1948, Buddy was the son of the late Harold and Anna Loose and Robert P. Ulrich. He was a graduate of Fleetwood High School and served in the U.S. Navy from 1967-1971, stationed aboard the USS Intrepid. Having traveled extensively in Europe, South America, and eastern Asia during his service, he developed an appreciation for culture, nature, & art that would continue throughout his life. Buddy was a bright man, both in intellect and spirit who enjoyed sharing his knowledge of naturopathy with others. He was an entrepreneur with an endless curiosity & zest for life. His passions included botany, winemaking, raising swans, cooking, classical & choral music, and meditation. He was an activist for environmental issues and a strong advocate for non-GMO foods & labeling, though he’d rarely turn down fast food and a coke. He faced the many hardships of his life with a great sense of humor, finding the light & positivity in difficult situations. He was authentic, loving, & a survivor. Buddy deeply loved & cherished his family and friends. He was the perfect balance of charm & grit and will be missed dearly. He is survived by his former wife, Olyvia Jo Deisher; daughter, Erin Chatenka; daughter, Kelly Adams and her husband Curtis; grandchildren Bradley Chatenka and Alaina Adams.

My sympathies to all the friends, shipmates and family. I met him on board the USS Intrepid in 1969. No matter the stress he was upbeat. He was very entertaining with his wonderful plans for the future. and must of been raised right. He had very good manors and appearance. We met again in Philadelphia where the ship was on display before it was towed to West Side Hwy in New York. Recently we met several times once to visit Dana who was our shipmate. Will miss his posts on facebook and his determination to make a difference in the world. RIP Eddie

Oh Buddy, there are so many good things to say about you that they wouldn't even come close to fitting in this little box! You were one of the most intuitive, caring friends that I've ever known.....Thank you so much for that- for being the special person that you were- I loved & appreciated our talks & wish we could have had more.......someday when I meet you on the other side I guess......meanwhile we will keep caring for & tending the garden you so lovingly helped create on the farm & keep singing our songs.....Love Always, Emily from The Holt Twins

I wanted to send send my condolences to Buddy's friends and family. He was such an interesting and funny person. He had a zest for life, was optimistic, and in good spirits no matter what life threw his way. His positive outlook was always a great inspiration.
He was a member of the BYFG (Backyard Fruit Growers Association) and we would talk about figs, quince, pawpaws, mangos, and exotic fruits often. We would have fun making fruit beers together from those exotic fruits for the past few years and it was always great to learn from his experience and hear his funny stories during these times.
Rest in Peace Buddy! It was an honor to know him.

A US Navy friend aboard the Intrepid with Buddy. We new each other for over two years traveling the world and visiting many ports. We made numerous weekend trips home (Nazareth & Reading) when back in states traveling in his VW. I new him as "Eddie" and was a great person. God Bless Eddie.
