Edward E. Brost Jr.

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

On behalf of the Badger Honor Flight Board and all our volunteers, we extend our deepest condolences to you all, the family of Ed Brost. We are forever thankful for his service to our great country. What an honor it was to take him on his “Trip of a Lifetime”. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

One of my favorite, funniest memories of Dad is watching him completely soften up in his later years, especially when it came to his dogs. Growing up, he was incredibly strict about training his hunting dogs, and he had a hard rule that they all had to be female. Fast forward a few decades, and there he was—not only owning a male dog, but letting his pups sleep right inside the house instead of out in the kennel! We never let him live it down, constantly teasing him about how beautifully soft he’d gotten over the years.

My late husband (Greg Dahl) and I enjoyed meeting with Ed and his wife Jan. Ed always had wonderful stories of his youth when he hunted in Central Wisconsin. He had a wonderful memory for the days when upland and wetland wildlife species were more abundant. When Ed would visit us he would sometimes bring young vegetables or flowers for us to plant in our garden. He was very kind and always seemed to be smiling in a mischievous kind of way. His work with Dane County Conservation League was outstanding and assures the organization a good future. Thank you Ed.
