Edward Kiker Obituary
He attended the military academy before proudly serving four years in the United States Navy. Following his service, Ed dedicated over 40 years of his career to the Sheet Metal Workers Local 27, later continuing his work as a roof inspector with Tremco. In his retirement, he enjoyed a well-earned, peaceful life in Florida.
Ed was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 55 years, Edna "Pudge" Kiker. He is survived by his sons, Ed Jr. (Kim) and Tommy (Jen); his cherished grandchildren, Emily, Dakota, Drake, and Sean; and great-granddaughter, Riley, along with many extended family and friends.
Ed had a lifelong love for the outdoors, especially fishing and hunting, and enjoyed coaching youth baseball in his earlier years. He will be remembered for his dedication to his family, strong work ethic, and love of nature.
Services will be private, in keeping with the family's wishes.

Eddie & Tommy, wishing you grace as you mourn dad's passing. I am so thankful for the neighborhood we had and the part your family played. I remember camping in your back yard with Tommy. Catching bullfrogs in the pool, german shorthair pointer puppies, and the time I broke my leg at 5 years and I got to hang at your house with my chum until my parents got back from PA. Dad will be missed, I only wished I got to hang w him as an adult. Andy for the Schiffer family.
