He was born on August 30, 1947 in Bedford, OH to the late Edward Sr and Anna (Benza) Duber. Ed served in the United States Navy on board the USS Saratoga (CV-3) aircraft carrier in the Fighter Squadron Thirty-One, where his love for planes originated.

He was named the top performing Piper dealer in the U.S. Ed was strong in his faith and was a member of Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Uniontown, OH. He was also a member of the Eagles, and active at the Akron Canton Airport. He loved to travel and did so extensively in the US and abroad, and he was passionate about his dogs and cats.
Ed is survived by his wife Stacey, whom he adored; four children, Rachelle (Joe) Geshke of Sagamore, Hills, OH, Edward Duber III (Tim Hotchkiss) of Phoenix, AZ, Dr. Mark (Dr. Melissa) Duber of Bardstown, KY and Anne (Dr. Brian) Studer of Sheffield Lake, OH; sister MaryAnn (Paul) Ledbetter of Wilder, TN; six grandchildren; six nieces; three nephews and a ton of friends.

Our deepest sympathies to the Duber family. Ed and I worked together and bought our first airplane together in the 70's, a 1954 Piper Cherokee. The start of a lifetime love of flying. He had the most heart warming smile.
RIP Ed.

I will miss Ed so much so that its very hard to express in words. He was a dear friend for many years going back to the mid-1990s, and was always there for advice, help and just having someone to talk to. I will remember him like a big brother. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Stacey, all of his children and grandchildren, and his many friends who loved him as much as I did.
