Edmund Joseph Garstkiewicz

Edmund Joseph Garstkiewicz, born March 23rd, 1939, died in his home on December 27th, 2021 after a year and a half journey with pancreatic cancer. He passed with the love and care of his wife and children around him. He is preceded in death by his mother and father, Florence and Edmund Garstkiewicz, his three sisters Rosalie, Mary, and Frances, cousin Cece, and nephew Justin. Surviving is his sweetheart and wife of 29 years, Karen Garstkiewicz, and his children, Edmund (Christelle), Kelly (Travis), Nicole (Abdul), Caitlin, and Blaise, and ten beautiful great/grandchildren. As well as cousins, Francie, Sue, and Miriam, nieces and nephews, and many second/third cousins. Ed worked as a Post Master for the USPS for 38 years, with a work style that spoke to his personality. Ed will be fondly remembered by his loved ones as one hell of a witty and quirky man, who never left a joke unsaid, even to the very end of his life. He was a man who loved his simple pleasures including Chinese food, a good routine, and a crossword puzzle. A man that truly loved in his own way, by caring for strayed cats, regularly donating blood, and so thoughtfully caring for his closest family. His charisma, wisdom, humor, realism, and personality will be greatly missed by his loved ones. He continues to be so deeply loved. Per Ed’s wishes, no formal services will be held. A frugal, simple man wouldn't allow such a thing. In lieu of attendance/flowers, the family welcomes memorial donations to Uplifted Care hospice. Ed and his family could not have gotten through his last weeks of life and his passing without the support from Uplifted. https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/1411477/mdonate
