Edwin Dauerman, age 96, passed away on September 15, 2025. Born in Bronx, NY on April 7, 1929. Edwin attended NYU and met his future bride in a business class. They married in 1955 and enjoyed over 68 years together. Edwin worked in the men's clothing industry in various roles over the years. He moved to Ohio in the early 1960s to get out of the "rat race" of NY. He lived in Dayton, Cleveland, and for the past 43 years in Columbus. He was a caring and loving husband, father and grandfather. The best way to describe Edwin was that he simply was a mensch.

Preceded in death by his wife Adele Dauerman; son, Bruce Dauerman; parents, Dora and Herman Dauerman; brothers, Bernie and Leonard. Survived by his son, Paul Dauerman; granddaughters, Sarah (Kevin) Jackson and Stephanie Dauerman; great granddaughter, Abigail Jackson; many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Private graveside service will be held on September 18.
