Edward Chlebek Jr., 84, of Brewster, MA, passed away suddenly on March 13, 2025, surrounded by family. Edward was born on February 11, 1941, in Fall River, MA, to Ted & Ruth Chlebek. He was a graduate of B.M.C. Durfee High School and Bradford Durfee College of Technology. He was a veteran of the United States Air Force and started his career in Rumford, RI, before relocating to the Cape with his family in 1978. He worked in different accounting and management roles for SencorpWhite in Hyannis, MA, for 33 years until his retirement in 2011. After retiring, Ed found a new sense of purpose working part time at Stop & Shop where he enjoyed interacting with others.
Ed was a hard worker and took pride in supporting and providing for his family. His greatest joy was spending time with them, including his therapy dog Scrappy. He especially loved being a grandfather to his four grandchildren who he was lovingly known as "Geppa." He enjoyed planning bowling & golf trips with longtime friends and was an avid sports fan. He was able to give back to his community by being a coach, referee, and umpire for youth sports for many years while living in Rhode Island and Cape Cod. He had a big heart, was a loyal friend and enjoyed helping others in his life.
Ed is survived by his wife Ginger, his daughter Deborah Filkins and son-in law Eric Filkins of Kingston, MA; daughter Judith Casey and son-in law Kevin Casey and their four children, Noah Casey, Will Casey, Ryan Casey and Emma Casey of Brewster, MA. He was the brother of the late Robert W. Chlebek.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The family wants to thank the kind members of Elder Services of Cape Cod, the Brewster Council on Aging and Rock Harbor Respite in Orleans for their support of Ed over the past year.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Ed's memory to Elder Services of Cape Cod (https://escci.org) at 68 Route 134, South Dennis, MA 02660.
