Bio

Brunkenhoefer, Edwin J. E. Brunkenhoefer, 43, Dies Suddenly, Funeral Tuesday Heart disease claimed the third Weimar businessman in a month when Edwin J. Brunkenhoefer died at 4:15 Sunday evening in Youens Hospital at the age of 43. He had entered the hospital two days earlier but shortly before his death had appeared to be doing well. Funeral services were held at Hubbard Funeral Home Tuesday afternoon with Rev. C. Emigholz, pastor of Evangelical & Reformed Church where Mr. Brunkenhoefer was confirmed in 1927, officiating. Burial was in the Masonic Cemetery. Pallbearers were Alvin Dunn Johnnie Rerich, Elma Barton, Henry Adamcik, Floyd Belt and Edmond Dreitner. An honor guard composed of a number of local war veterans, stood at attention during graveside services. Mr. Brunkenhoefer was co-manager of the Humble Service Station here, where he had been in partnership with Edmond Dreitner for the past five years. Born here Aug. 14, 1910, he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Brunkenhoefer, who are among his survivors. Graduating from Weimar High School, he attended Seguin Lutheran College and later attended a barber school in Houston for six months. During World War II he served about four years overseas, in Hawaii and later on Okinawa. "Brunk", as he was known to his many friends, played on many of Weimar's early baseball teams and was an avid follower of other sports throughout his life.
