Edward ("Ed") Lubos, age 77, passed away on February 18, 2012 following a courageous battle with cancer. Ed passed away with his children by his side in Kent, Washington. Ed was born and raised in Beuthen, Germany, the son of Emanuelle and Maria Lubos.
Ed moved to the United States in 1956 and later joined the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in Moses Lake, Washington at Larson Air Force Base. Ed was honorably discharged in 1961 as an Airman, Second Class. While stationed at Larson Air Force Base, Ed met Heidi Horn and they married in 1966. One of Ed's proudest endeavors was the home he built in Moses Lake. Ed and Heidi spent their remaining married life there until recently moving in with their children over in western Washington because of health complications.
In 1964, Ed went to work for the Federal Bureau of Reclamation as Draftsman/Engineering Technician and retired as an Engineering Contract Specialist in 1996. In his earlier years, Ed was an avid diver and enjoyed bird hunting and shooting. Following his retirement, Ed developed a passion for tennis, gardening and became an excellent micro-brewer, whose beer was known as "the best" by his family and friends.
Ed was preceded in death by his wife, his mother and father, two sisters and one brother. Ed is survived by his sister, Felicitas Gebhard from Kaufbeuren, Germany; his daughter Joann Burnett and her spouse Larry; his son Walter and his beloved sweetheart Becky; his daughter Heidi Huebner and her spouse Jack; his grand-son Erich Burnett and his spouse Jen; his grand-daughter Stephanie Ayala and her spouse Angel, his grand-daughter Kelsie Smith; and newborn great grand-son Sebastian Ayala.

Hold on to what is good
even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do
even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life
even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand
even when I have gone away from you.
We will miss you Dad, but take comfort knowing that you are no longer suffering and you and Mom are together forever.
