Edward J. Koches, age 81, of Strongsville, OH, passed away on January 17, 2026. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 57 years, Carole (nee Niemenski), and his caring sisters, Marian Koches Semelsberger (Ken) of Strong Read Obituary
Ed was a wonderful, warm, supportive individual of the highest quality.
He was a perfect match for Carole. I was blessed to know them both through working with Carole (Glidden) and Ed through our retirees' group:
Glidden PrimeTimers.
Ed, may you rest in everlasting peace.
Carole, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May it help to know that others care.
Sincerely,
Lori and Ed Calhoun
Cleveland, Ohio
