Edward Novick Obituary

Born Dec. 15, 1922, in Wilkes-Barre, he was a son of the late Edward and Johanna Grapski Novick.
Ed was a truck driver for the Stegmaier Brewing Company until its closing. His love for driving kept him working for other companies and he gave many rides to family and friends through the years. He was also a timekeeper and scorekeeper for Wilkes-Barre Barons basketball for several years.
A gentle and humble man, Ed was a great storyteller with a sense of humor. He enjoyed reading and was a 73-year Chicago Cubs fan.
His son, Edward T. Novick, died Aug. 14, 2007. Six brothers and sisters also preceded him in death.

Mr Novick was my little league coach and was there to help me learn how to play baseball. He coached me and his son Ed. He was kind to me because even though i was not the best player he would put me in the game for an inning or two especially when my mother was there. There was one time he put me in the game when his son Ed was pitching a no hitter and it was the bottom of the last ending and the ball was hit to me in center field i ran up to catch the fly ball but that was a mistake and i had to run back really quick to try and catch the ball i felt Mr Novick's eyes looking and hoping i would catch the ball... i did and there was a big celebration. He said i did a good job. Mr Novick also drove me and my sister daily to school with his family to St. Nicks i believe it was an old Pontiac. He was always kind to us. He really didn't say much but you knew he cared. I do remember him being a Cub's fan and when the cubs won the world series he was the first person i thought of. I am glad he was part of my life.
Jim Adzema.
