Edward Mach passed away July 20, 2020, in Richmond, TX. He was born April 3, 1931, in Shiner, TX, to Josef Frank Mach and Annie Panus-Mach.
Edward grew up in Alice, TX. He played college football for Del Mar College and Tarleton State. He served in the US Army during the Korean War. Edward later worked on oil rigs and at Newport News Shipbuilders before moving his family to Needville to work at Jefferson Lake Sulphur Company, eventually retiring from the Richmond State School.
Edward's pride and joy was his children. He was there for them no matter what the circumstances, guiding and helping them along the way. Often later in life, you could find him sitting on his front porch probably doing his favorite hobby, scratching off lotto tickets. He always enjoyed his daily dose of lotto scratch offs.
