Edwin Laverne Kjin

My condolences to Ed’s family—he was a kind man. I always enjoyed chatting with him at the gym.

Ed was my stepdad. He was a loved and important part of our lives until the day he passed. Ed was a proud career retired Madison firefighter (a source of pride for all of us), a trivia genius and a walking encyclopedia. He was the most physically fit senior I ever knew until a serious fall sent him to nursing care/assisted living shortly after Covid lockdowns. Before that every morning he went to the Princeton Club where he would run into my ex and they would chew the fat. He spent many dinners as well as Packer game viewings at my home with my husband Jim (who adored him) me and my Sis. Jim would continue to go watch a Packer game with Ed at Oak Park once Covid restrictions were lifted. And because our birthdays were one day apart we always got together for lunch to celebrate. He loved us all dearly and equally and we him. Each of us had a special relationship. Thank you Ed for being a blessing in our lives. Always. We are family. With love and sweet memories, Margo

To Ed's family, we send sympathy on your loss. Jack knew Ed for about 35 years and spent many hours discussing sports, and other "worldly" topics. They enjoyed many cups of coffee over the years. He also loved my baked goods and lefsa. Ed will be missed. Jack and Sue Marking
