Ed was a life-long member of Zion Lutheran Church in Stratford, where he served on the church council, 1 year as president.

Ed is survived by his brother Arnold (Judy) Polege of Stratford and sister, Helen (Mahlon) Schmidt of Rice Lake. He is also survived by three nieces and three nephews as well as seven stepchildren.
