Edwin started in the travel business in 1948, where he worked up until he started his own travel agency in 1986. He and Nancy traveled all over the world, visiting over 100 different countries, but calling San Antonio, Texas “home” for over 46 years. There, they were loyal parishioners of St. Matthews Catholic Church and Edwin an active member of the Rotary Club. He was strong in his faith and built his life around his family. An avid crossword puzzle solver, bowler, gardener, and trivia buff, Edwin had many interests. He enjoyed reading and spending time with his loved ones, even moving to McKinney to be closer to them. Edwin was a compassionate man who always put others before himself. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
