  The world lost one of its most precious gems on January 23rd, 2014 with the passing of Edward "Ed" Jenkel, 94, Appleton. Ed was a loving, kind and brilliant man, who deeply loved his family and God. Ed was born on January 17, 1920 in the Town of Center. He married his sweet little wife Margaret Burkhardt on June 2, 1951, and together they lovingly nurtured three very grateful children: Diane, Todd and Tim. Ed was a hydraulics instructor in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, and spent his working life at the Appleton Wire Works as an electrician and Valleycast (now Luvata) as a plant engineer. He enjoyed a long retirement filled with grandkids and hobbies and projects. He was the kind of guy who could build or fix anything. Ed loved to help people, and happily tried to care for each of his older siblings as they needed it. His heart was broken when he lost his son Todd at 17, but otherwise he had a blessed life filled with his love and caring. Ed is survived by his wife Margaret (Peg); daughter Diane (son-in-law Joe, and grandkids Dylan and Lindsay, and Lindsay's husband Zack); son Tim; sister Lucille; and too many nieces and nephews to name, but he loved them all dearly. He was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Bertha Jenkel; his son Todd; and 10 brothers and sisters, including his little brother Jim who passed away just 4 months ago, who he missed terribly each of his remaining days. Services for Edward will be held Sat. Jan. 25, 2014 at 2:30 pm at Brettschneider Trettin-Nickel Funeral Chapel with Rev. Joel Zank officiating. Interment will be in Highland Memorial Park, Appleton. Friends may visit the family from 1pm -2:30pm Saturday at the funeral chapel. In lieu of flowers, and to honor Ed's wife Margaret, any donations will go to Alzheimer's disease research. Ed's family would like to thank all the people at Appleton Retirement Community, Heartland Hospice, and recently, Prairie Home Assisted Living. We were blown away by the boundless love and care provided by so many amazing caregivers. "Pop, I miss you so much already. I loved the lifetime of projects and playing we did together all my life. I hate to let it go, but it's time for you to go have fun with Todd now. I love you." - Tim Published in Appleton Post-Crescent on Jan. 24, 2014
