Personal note from Ed's Daughter, Debbie Cea

9/5/2021
Welcome to this memorial site for our Dad, Ed Vasely.
Dad passed away on August 25th, 2021. As we prepare for his funeral Mass and laying him to rest, we've been comforted by many who have communicated with us, sent cards, meals and donations on his behalf. Most have shared their personal stories about Dad with us and consoled and comforted us with their absolute belief that Dad is now in heaven preparing to enjoy eternity with his beloved wife Jean, our wonderful Mom.
Please spend some time enjoying our shared photos and memories of Dad. We hope you'll be able to join us at the upcoming visitation at Greenwood Memorial on September 9th. Dad's funeral services will be live streamed from Sacred Heart Church on 9/10 for those unable to attend. Further details are within this site.
Before you leave, please take a moment to write a note, or a little story about Dad that you'd like to share. We'd love to be able to look back on the remembrances shared about Dad. And of course we'll want to remember all the wonderful people who knew him, cared about him and comforted us during this time. Many thanks and blessings to you all.
