Edwin Klumpp Obituary
Ed was born September 2nd, 1949, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Edwin Klumpp and Elizabeth Klumpp (nee Jones).
Ed graduated from Woodrow Wilson Highschool in Levittown, Pennsylvania in 1967 and was an avid learner, earning an Associate Degree in Chemistry, and later in life attending classes at St. Petersburg College in Florida.

Ed enjoyed spending time with numerous friends and acquaintances in Florida. He also looked forward to visits from his sister BarbaraJean, niece Kimi, and grand-nephew Ronin who reside in Pennsylvania.
