Edward Kulesza Obituary

KULESZA--Dr. Edward S. With great sadness we mourn the sudden and tragic death of our esteemed colleague and friend Edward Kulesza, M.D. Loving husband, father, brother, son, friend, mentor and so much more. As a physician at Coler Goldwater Memorial Hospital since 1988, he was never too busy to help. Dedicated to his wife Beth, son Eddie and daughter Christina, taking care of his parents, working, coaching and volunteering, one could not believe one man could do it all. A battle with cancer was hard fought and our Ed was the victor. Life went on. NOTHING could stop him. For those of us who knew Eddie, we were extremely blessed to have had him in our lives. We will remember times spent with our friend with bittersweet memories. With sincerest condolences to the Kulesza family, His Colleagues
