Edward Ronald Eisner, age 85, was called home to his
heavenly father, on Dec. 27, 2014, in the comfort of his house at Phillips.
Edward (Ronnie) was born the fourth child of John and Mary belle
(Dennee) Eisner, on March 30th 1929, in Stratford, Wisc.He attended
local schools in Park Falls, before joining the Navy in 1946. He traveled the
European continent on the USS Houston, as part of the US Naval Force Europe
Operation Goodwill.
Edward (Ronnie) met the love of his life, Marjorie Elaine
Kainz in Rib Lake, Wisconsin where he committed to marry her and become the
father of her 6 children. They were married on June 30, 1962 and relocated the
family to West Dundee, Il. They lived a
number of locations in Illinois during their working years. In 1969 he became a heavy equipment operator
with Local 150 Midwest Operating Engineers. He loved his job until his
retirement. This year he received a certificate of Awards for recognition of 45
years of service to Local 150 International Union of Operating Engineers. He
was a lifetime member. Once they retired they made the moved back to Wisconsin.
The two biggest loves of his life were his family and the
church. He loved to hear what his children and grandchildren were doing. He was
always asking just the right question and his favorite response was “Oh Really“
or “that’s ludicrous”. He left each one of them with the feeling that they were
the most important person to him. He was a faithful member of St. Therese
Catholic church in Philips Wisconsin
Ed was gifted with a
remarkable memory and uncanny ability to connect with everyone he met. Family
and friends were amazed and entertained by his life stories. He lived from his
heart and ironically he gave so much of that away that it could not sustain his
life. His departure leaves a large void in the hearts of all who knew him.
