Bio
Edwin J. Spatz, 99, of David City, NE., passed away on October 25, 2012 at St. Joseph's Villa, David City, NE. Edwin was born January 13, 1913, in Abie, NE. to James L., Sr. and Mary Rose (Voboril) Spatz. As a young man he helped his parents on the family farm. He attended school at Nebraska School for the Deaf, in Omaha, NE., where he participated in playing basketball. Being the top scorer, he led the team on to a state championship and was the last living member. Edwin enjoyed his new cars, fishing and boating. He always studied every little gadget and could always make something just a little bit better. After moving to St. Josephs Court in 2007, he enjoyed going on trips and participating in the group activities with people his age. After transferring to the Villa he kept active and for this his family is very grateful. Although he could not hear or speak, he was a man who was greatly loved and respected by his family, brothers, sisters, and nieces. He lived his life to the fullest and was an example of how life should be lived. A big smile and thumbs up was a good sign that everything met his approval. Edwin is survived by: brother, Robert R. Spatz of Mission, TX.; nieces: Phyllis(Joe) Byers of Fordland, MO., Virginia (Yindrick) Stratmann, of West Point, NE., Betty (Yindrick) Betzen, of David City, NE., and Elizabeth Spatz of Redundo Beach, CA.; ten great nieces and nephews, and fourteen great-great nieces and nephews.
