EDWARD F SZUBA

Edward F. Szuba, 89, passed away Friday, May 21, 2021, at Baystate Noble Hospital in Westfield, MA. 

Edward was born August 17, 1931, in Westfield, MA to Stanley and Louise Szuba.

At a young age, he learned the importance of being generous and giving to the community by working alongside his family to feed neighbors and friends during the Great Depression. And as a Korean War Veteran, he knew what it was to sacrifice.

While "work" was his true passion, he also enjoyed spending countless hours tinkering with his cars and maintaining a meticulous lawn. 

He knew everyone around and happily greeted them with a wave as they passed his home. 

Edward is predeceased by his parents, wife Dorothy Szuba, his two brothers, and sister. 

He is survived by his daughters, Jeanne McFarland of Wallingford, CT; Carol Eure (Edward) of NV; Donna Szuba of Westfield, MA; and Nancy Brinn of SC; his grandchildren, Christine Eure; Amy Tomlinson (Gavin); Keith Cohen (Allie); and Michael McFarland; his great-grandchildren, Emma Tomlinson and Jade Cohen; and his nephew Stanley Haracz of Westfield, MA.
