Ed Markowsky
February 15, 1923 — May 2, 2008
LA FERIA, TEXAS:
Ed Markowsky, 85, passed away on Friday, May 2, 2008 at Valley Baptist Medical Center. Ed was born on February 15, 1923 in Fort Worth, Texas to Leona Albrecht and Judge Alfred Henry Markowsky. He was a life-long resident of the Rio Grande Valley living in Harlingen and La Feria. Ed served in the U.S. Air Force during WWII from 1941 to 1945. He was a talented finishing contractor for many years and enjoyed building and flying model airplanes and metal detecting and was adept at finding lost objects. Ed was a former Commander of the American Legion Post 435 of La Feria for 2 years.
His sense of humor will be missed by many who knew and loved him. In the Markowsky tradition, he never met a cat or dog he did not love.
