Obituary
Resident of Blaine, WA.
Erhard “Ed” Squire of Birch Bay went to be with his Lord and Savior on May 3, after losing his battle with a lung condition at St. Joseph’s Hospice Hospital. He was seventy two years old. He is survived by Helen, his wife of thirty four years; son Gary, daughter Lisa and husband Bob, grand-daughters Ashley and Amanda, great-grandson Gavin, son Jerry, daughter Cindy, daughter Melinda, daughter Ferni, brothers in Germany, Manfred, Harald, and Alwin.
Ed was born in Biebesheim, Germany to Elisabeth Kraft (deceased) and Karl Hugo Rothermel (deceased) on January 25, 1942. Ed came to the USA at age 15 and completed his schooling in the Seattle area. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War. The love of Ed’s life was his family and his dedication to helping children. Ed and Helen fostered over 100 children over a span of 10 years. He will always be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His longtime hobbies included travel, crab fishing, touring in his motor-home and cooking. Ed will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

Gramps, pictures of you are scattered around the house, and everytime I catch a glimpse of one, it’s still very hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that you are gone. I miss you and hate that I can’t call you on the phone to simply just hear your voice or hear you call me “your girl”. I prayed to God since your passing that I’d be given some sort of sign that you’re with me, and I believe God granted my wish today, by hearing that very special song. I love and miss you so much. I carry you with me – always. Xox

My dearest Helen I am so sorry to hear of this terrible news. He will be missed and so will his cooking. Prayers for you my dear, and remember you need anything I am just a call away. Love you so much.

We are truly going to miss “our dear Eddie”. Life will be far less enjoyable without Ed’ smiling face.
