Born and raised in Chicago, Ed was an avid, lifelong fan of his hometown teams the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago Bears, and the Chicago Bulls and could often be found soaking up each season in front of his large screen TV. Along with his late wife Pat, whom he met by asking her to dance at a friend’s wedding, he raised their four children Rick, Bob, Kathleen and Lori, to have a strong work ethic and felt great pride in providing for his family. He worked for Chicago Title Insurance for over 30 years, and grew in his career to become Assistant Vice President in Sales, finding success by developing meaningful and authentic relationships with his clients. Known as the “Fix-it Man”, Ed enjoyed helping his neighbors and believed the world was better when people helped other people without need for attention or fanfare. Ed was the son of the late Julian and Marian Niemietz. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 59 years Pat (Sheehan) Niemietz, and his brother Lou Niemietz. Ed is survived by his sons Richard (Seniz) and Robert (Beth) and daughters Kathleen (John) and Lori (Steve) and his grandchildren Mike, Chelsea, Morgan, Evan, MacKenzie, McKenna and Riley. A virtual service to celebrate Ed’s life will take place through a live stream from Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Lancaster SC. Details will be announced when they are finalized. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Ed’s name to the American Heart Association. Personal notes of condolences can be mailed in care of Ed's daughter Kathleen Zemaitis, 457 Sage Grouse Circle, Castle Rock, CO 80109. The family is being assisted by Heritage Funeral Home, Ballantyne Chapel.
