Edward W. "Ed" Hastreiter

I met Ed just a few months after he started his accounting practice in 1979. I had just started my HVAC business in September of 1979. Throughout the next 40 years until I retired, Ed and I became great friends and I always knew I could rely on him for good, solid advice in financial matters and tax planning. To see the business he started with 2 or 3 people grow into what it is today is an accomplishment that any person would and should make them extremely proud. I’m glad to see that EWH accounting is continuing to provide the same high level of service to the people who now operate my old business. Ed will be greatly missed.

I got to know Ed and Ann just a little through his work as treasurer for the Ice Age Trail Alliance, and through Marie, who I met during morning dog walks. She told me how much he loved cherry pie - don’t bother bringing anything else :) - so I had the fun of bringing one over during cherry season and for the holidays. When Ann was alive, we’d sit and share the wonderful view from the house he built out of love for her - their own little Taj Mahal. He was quieter after she died, but always grateful and happy to see me.They gave me a copy of The Dash, and I will try to continue to live by it.
