Edward Joseph Hosek, passed away peacefully at the age of 93 on January 7, 2021. Edward was born on October 16, 1927 in Three Oaks, Texas. Edward attended Three Oaks School. After spending his entire life on the family farm, he enlisted in the United States Army on October 1, 1950. Edward married Frances Chudej in Kaufmann, Texas on October 10, 1953. Edward and Frances began their married life in Dallas with Edward working in a machine shop. He soon realized that city life was not for him, so Edward and Frances returned to the family farm in Three Oaks. Edward began his career as a farmer in December of 1953. In the late 1950's Edward launched his egg business, Hosek Egg Farm, which flourished for the next 40 years. He enjoyed talking to his customers at restaurants, nursing homes, schools, convenience stores and grocery stores. He especially enjoyed telling jokes to anyone that would listen. Edward was a member of the Poth VFW Post 8555 and a lifetime member of Blessed Sacrament Church in Poth. He served on the Poth School Board for 16 years.

Edward enjoyed salt water fishing, making wine, and gardening. He enjoyed playing dominoes with friends, playing softball for the Three Oaks Rattlers, and watching baseball on TV. Edward especially loved playing on the floor with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and riding the Kawasaki mule to check cattle. Edward was known as the "Eggman." He was affectionately called Peppo by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He even acquired the name "K.K." which stood for Kaptain Kool. Edward loved to dance.
