Obituary for Edward J. Kolwicz
Edward J. Kolwicz, passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 8, 2022.
Edward grew up and lived in Bordentown after his family moved there from Riverside when he was very young. He graduated from William McFarland High School in 1958, where he played Football, basketball and baseball.

An Avid sports enthusiast, Ed loved the Philadelphia Eagles and the Phillies. He was always ready to go to a ball game. Pro or local, he was interested. If you called him on the phone, there was a good chance you would find him watching a ball game, horse race or some sort of competition.
