Edwin "Ed" Schewe, 88, of Pasadena, TX passed away on January 12, 2021 . Ed was born on June 24, 1932 in Janufka, Poland and immigrated from Germany to the United States with his parents and siblings in 1951 settling in lower Michigan.
Ed was a US Army Veteran, serving from 1954-1957 and was a member of the SPJST Fraternal Lodge in Pasadena, TX and the Liederkranz German Club of Houston.
