“Ed Swoboda 1917 – 2013
My father, Edward Swoboda, passed away peacefully last night surrounded by family and love. He was my inspiration for all the important things I ever accomplished in my life and will be so dearly and truly missed.
I am so truly grateful that I was able to spend so much time with him and that he was able to know my wife and children.I know that he will forever watch over me and I say, Dad, rest in peace. You deserve it. I will love you forever.
We will have a special memorial for Ed in Tucson this year. Details to be announced.”
