Edward Tomczek

The world lost one of the most caring, giving souls on September 10, nine days before his 89th birthday.

Ed was a longtime resident of Milton Freewater. There wasn’t anyone he didn’t know or would have wanted to get to know. He taught elementary school for many years after graduating from LaSierra College and sold Fuller Brushes door-to-door in this Walla Walla Valley. He married his college sweetheart Myrtle (Zachary) in 1953 and would have celebrated their 66th anniversary this October.

His heart was huge for each and every one of his 15 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren; he’s eyes would sparkle every time one entered the room.

He leaves behind his wife, Myrtle; daughters: Nancy Steen (Greg), Marcia Vixie (Bill), Beverley Seibold (Kelven;) and son, Dan Tomczek (Renee); sister, Jo Marie Luke (Mick); and numerous nieces, nephews and several cousins. He had a huge heart for each of them and loved getting together for family chats.

Please, we’d love you to join us for conversation and memories on September 28, at the University SDA Church, 212 SW 4th, College Place, Fellowship Room from 3:00 – 4:30.

In lieu of flowers the family requests, donations be made to: Chaplaincy Hospice Care, 140 Fowler St, Richland, WA 99352. The family thanks Chaplaincy for the wonderful care Dad received his last few days.
