Edward Robert Brandwein Obituary

Edward  Robert  Brandwein, age 90, beloved husband of Jane Brandwein (née Berkowitz) and the late Phyllis Brandwein (née Kaplan); loving father of Barry (Nancy) Brandwein, Ron (Rona) Brandwein, and Wendy (Ken) Hafft; cherished father-in-law of the late Penny Brandwein; adored Papa of Justin Brandwein, Sarin (Justin) Lerner, Blake (Carly) Brandwein, Jordan (Maureen) Brandwein, Max (Jennifer) Brandwein, Brandon Hafft, and Zachary (Juli) Hafft; treasured great-grandfather of Paxton, Norah, Wyatt, Belle, Myles, Mia, Braxton, Lydia, and Charlotte; special stepfather of Melissa (Steve) Jarmel and Matthew Goldfine and their children Sophie and Ellie Jarmel, Audrey and Jack Goldfine; devoted son of the late Harry and Juliette Brandwein; fond brother of the late Barbara Tintner; dear uncle and  friend to many.

Eddie was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He lived his life with unwavering kindness and a strength of character that earned the respect and admiration of all who knew him. Unapologetically himself, Eddie brought warmth and laughter wherever he went through his gentle nature, infectious smile, and playful sense of humor. Though he was known for his timeless style, it is his heart that will be remembered most. The love he shared, the values he lived by, and the memories he created will leave an enduring legacy in the hearts of his family and friends.
