To the Ed Medernach Family,

We are so sorry to read about the passing of your Father. We will always remember seeing him at mealtime ( with a smile and a wink) sitting with our Dad , John Buritsch. We loved hearing the stories about the good ol' days! John and Ed's lives were quite intertwined. Together they attended school, worked at Mack's, and lived at Devon House.
Our most sincere condolences to the family.

In sympathy,

John Buritsch's Daughters
