He loved to come up with new ideas and followed through with patents on several of them. He and his wife also bought, fixed up and sold or rented houses in their spare time.Thoughts from his granddaughter – Jennifer:Grandpa had 7 grandchildren that he loved to play games and tricks with. He enjoyed giving them hugs whenever he saw them.Thoughts from his grandson – Jon:To my grandpa, Ed Rahberger. He loved hard work and staying busyand passed it on, usually getting me to work my butt off all day with my only incentive hoping to get an "ada boy" from him – which always made my day. He can now rest easy with his wife Melissa – back together again. Probably sitting at the best seatin Heavens' Golden Corral.Thoughts from his grandson – Jesse:My grandpa was the toughest man I knew. I mean who doesn't use Novocain when getting their tooth drilled? Grandpa was also one of the most competitive! That's what made him who he was and what I loved about him and he will be missed.Thoughts from his sister – Linda:Hi everyone. I was thinking a lot today of my memories of Ed. I enjoyed very much having Ed as a big brother. He is to blame for my horse addiction as he bought me my first horse. It was an old parade horse that we could pile 3 kids on and if we fell off the old fella would just stop and stand there. He always had that mischievous side to him as you well know I am sure. When we were young he would go outside at night and press his face up against the window until we happened to spot him and scare us and he would laugh like crazy. He didn't care how long he had to stand there. Somewhere we have a picture of him squatting in the snow with a bandana tied around his head out at Corbett making snow ice cream. Just had to make sure it wasn't yellow. We made a lot of that. He had that big grin on his face looking like he was freezing. When he was in the service they made small records that they could send home of a voice message. We played that several times just to hear the end of it where he was telling Jeannie and me to get to work. He said there was a fellow working close to him on the ship that was killed and he was not even hurt. I remember late one night we were hearing voices downstairs. Ed was using Mom's car for a night on the town (if that was possible living in Corbett). Anyway he had run off the road down into a small ravine and had walked the 3 or 4 miles back to the farm. I think that was the end of that car. Wasn't too long after that he brought Melissa out to meet Mom and that was the start of some great years they had together and the wonderful family you are today. I am so glad he was able to have Geri in his life those last years. I know it wasn't something everyone was happy with at first but your Dad was determined not to spend his last years alone and I am happy he had her to travel with and live life with. He enjoyed that time with her and we never know how much time God has for us so it was nice that he was able to enjoy it to the fullest.A visitation will be held on Friday, February 16th at Praise Fellowship Church, W195s9912 Racine Ave, Muskego, WI 53150 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. followed by a funeral service at 6:30 p.m.In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to: Leukemia and Lymphoma Society 200 South Executive Drive - #203 – Brookfield, WI 53005 Please put on Subject Line or reference " In memory of Ed "Note: Ed's Great-Grandson Matthew was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2010.
