Edward SHRIVER Obituary

SHRIVER Edward W. Edward W. Shriver, 70, of Toledo, was a humble man, whose greatest wealth was his generosity and kindness to all who knew him. Ed was born in Beaver, PA, on March 24, 1940, to the late Lois (Popp) and William Shriver. He passed away peacefully on July 30, 2010, at the Toledo Hospital.

He was an active officer, instructor, and member of RSES (Refrigeration Service Engineers Society) where he received the 2004 Member of the Year Award for his outstanding contributions to the industry. He was active in numerous other organizations as well. Ed was notorious for being late for everything and rarely said "no" to anyone! He is survived by his sisters, Margaret (Mel) Vogel of Mansfield, OH, Joyce (Gary) Dawson of Rochester, MI; brothers, Don (Linda) Shriver of Beaver, PA and Dale (Judy) Shriver of Marengo, IL; and dear friends, Joan and Don Braatz and family of Toledo, OH.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed Ed's company. I started doing seminars with Ed at RSES over 20 years ago, through that we became friends. Ed became friends with my father in law Otto Kniffke, they always enjoyed a German beer together. Ed will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

May God be with his family and friend for their loss. The heavens our rejoicing to have him but the earth will miss him terribly. God blessed all of us who knew him, he was a kind and generous person and I'm sure he will live on in his family and friends. God bless you and keep you. Linda Bryant

When we heard about the passing of Ed, we were heartbroken. Ed was the best electrician we know in Toledo. It is very difficult to find a replacement for someone who is as skilled, patient, and self-less as Ed. He will be missed. Our hearts go out to his family. We will miss you greatly Ed.

Eddie, a gentle man, greeted everyone with his sweet smile and gave his full attention to you during any conversation. We will miss you Eddie when we weekend with your adopted family at Maumee Bay State Park.

Words can't adequately express what a great man Eddie was. He was by far the most giving, selfless person I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He helped me in my time of need and for that, I will always be grateful. To Eddie's family and friends: please accept my deepest condolences and know that I share your sorrow.
