Edward Joseph Scheetz

In loving memory of Edward Joseph Scheetz, beloved father and grandfather on the one-year anniversary on Sept. 7, 2025, of your passage into Heaven: Dear Dad, Although you are gone from our presence here on Earth, you are not forgotten. You have been dearly missed and thought of daily by your beloved daughter, Elaine; and grandchildren, Mark and Danny. You live on in our hearts through the treasured memories we have of you. We take great comfort in knowing you are free of your physical suffering, in the presence of our Lord and reunited with Mom, your parents and your family in Heaven. I think of you daily and cherish the time spent caring for you in your final years. Thank you for your example to us as a caring and loving father and grandfather and as a true family man who was always there as an anchor. Daughter, Elaine Scheetz Smyda and grandsons, Mark and Danny Smyda.
