Edward Anthony Glushefski

Edward Anthony Glushefski, a man of many talents, hobbies and passions, died in his home in Manassas, Va., shortly after noon Thursday, May 26, 2011. He was 59.

Edward, who asked to be called “Ed” by everyone, no matter their age or relationship to him, was born Nov. 8, 1951, to Edward W. and Anne Glushefski in Nanticoke. In 1953 the family moved to Buffalo, N.Y., where Ed spent his childhood and young adult life.

After graduating from Kenmore East High School in 1969, Ed attended Niagara Community College for two years before traveling the country. He eventually moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., where he enjoyed making lifelong friends and finding a place to serve the community as part of a Christian fellowship. It was also there that he met his future wife, Jennifer L. Jones. After moving to Virginia, the couple wed on Aug. 21, 1976.

Ed and Jennifer started their family in Warrenton, Va., where their son, Jacob, was born. They soon settled in Manassas, Va., in 1979, where their three daughters, Rebekah, Elisa and Kathryn, would be welcomed into the growing family.

Ed began his career in carpentry, branched out into cabinetmaking, commercial contracting and home building. He was a business owner, realtor and ended his career on a high note, working for a company he loved as a construction project manager.

He took tremendous joy in gardening, cooking, telling stories, writing, genealogy, trips with his wife to Gettysburg and “spanning time” with his loving family. He was also a fan of the hockey team, the Buffalo Sabres. But more than anything, he loved beginning a new project.

Whatever he did, he did with passion and abandon.

Knowing that his time on earth was drawing to a close, Ed spent his final month in thankfulness to God, relaying family history and stories, and preparing his loved ones for the future. There were many joyful gatherings with family and friends.

Ed was preceded in death by his son, Jacob C. Glushefski; his father, Edward W. Glushefski; and his parents-in-law, Marilyn Ross Jones and Charles R. Jones.

Ed is survived by his wife of nearly 35 years, Jennifer Glushefski; his three daughters, Rebekah Glushefski, Elisa Glushefski and Kathryn Glushefski; his mother, Anne Brienza Glushefski; mother-in-law, Marilyn (Rosie) Pederson Jones; and his brothers, Jim Glushefski and his wife, Lenni, and Dan Glushefski and his wife, Maria. He is also survived by brothers and sisters-in-law, John and Kathy Jones, Ed and Julie Gregorowicz and Jody Jones, along with many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.

Family and friends may call from 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday at Davis-Dinelli Funeral Home, 170 E. Broad St., Nanticoke, with a graveside service immediately following in St. Stanislaus Cemetery, Nanticoke.

A memorial service in celebration of his life will be held at Bull Run Unitarian Universalist Church, 9350 Main St., Manassas, Va., at 2 p.m. Saturday.
