Edward enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II and served on the now-famous

Nekiunas; three daughters and two sons-in-law, Jane Nekiunas of South Windsor, 
Judith and Michael Rizocki of Vernon, and Paula and Scott Lambert of South 
Windsor. He will be greatly missed by his pride and joy, his grandchildren, 
Meredith and Jonathan Rizocki, and Michael and David Lambert. He also leaves two 
nephews, Thomas Albrikes of Stratford and James Albrikes of New Haven.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 2, at Concordia Lutheran
