Edward J. “Buzz” Boardman, age 74, died peacefully on Sunday, August 4, 2013.
Born and raised in Jackson, MI, Ed was a resident of Hamburg and formerly a long-time resident of Wayne.
Earning his Doctorate from Columbia University, NY, Ed went on to teach at Fairleigh Dickinson and William Paterson Universities. For many years, he also operated his own business as an independent financial advisor.
Ed loved to travel and throughout his lifetime he had the pleasure of visiting Beijing, China, many parts of Europe and traveling via cruise to the Caribbean Islands. He had a flair for cooking and he enjoyed playing racquetball with his friends at the YMCA of Wayne. At home he loved the companionship of his pet cockapoo Blackie.
Ed met his wife Ilse while receiving physical therapy at Cedar Crest where she was a nurse. They married and enjoyed six years together. Ed was an outgoing person, intelligent and eloquent with a great sense of humor and a generous spirit.
Surviving is his wife Ilse, his sister Louise Thomas and husband Donald of Greenville, SC and his step-son Sven Hofmann and wife Marion of Greensboro, NC. He was predeceased by his step-son Oliver Olschewski in 2010.
