Ed Hanzel passes away

BJ Alums got this email from retired printer Dick Latshaw, who lives on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, about retired printer Ed Hanzel:

John

I just got a call from my daughter in Ohio.

She said Ed Hanzel passed away last night. (Thursday)

She knows Ed’s son. Can you check it out and post on the BJ retirees blog?

Thanks

Dick Latshaw

Retired BJ printer Ed’s wife, Norma Jean Smith Hanzel, died in 2010. They were married 62 years.

Norma Jean & Ed Hanzel

Ed and Norma were married on September 13, 1947 at St. Augustine Church. Ed and Norma met at Barberton High School and resided in Barberton all their lives.

They have a daughter, Joan (David) Stover of Barberton; sons, Jack (Cheryl) of Akron and Jeffrey (Cindy) of Doylestown; and grandchildren, Mark (Jennifer) Stover, Sandy Papoi, Whitney Megyes and Kelley Hanzel; and great-granddaughters, Anastasia, Allison and Brittany.

Ed was among the 45 printers and their spouses who won the healthcare lawsuit against the BJ.
