Edwin Montross

December 28, 1922 - December 12, 2015

Edwin Montross, 92, of Stafford, TX, passed away peacefully on December 12, 2015. He was born on December 28, 1922 in East Lynn, IL, the son of Haven and Lucille Montross. He is survived by his daughters, Janet Silvey of Austin, TX and Donna Winnerman of Palm Harbor, FL; his granddaughters, Kayla and Kristin Silvey of Austin, TX, Ashley Sherburn of Oldsmar, FLand Amy Witherspoon of Grosse Pointe Farms, MI; great-granddaughters Corryn and Zoey Sherburn of Oldsmar, FL; one sister Clara Bartlow of Hoopeston, IL and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by Sandy, the love of his life and wife of 55 years. After serving in World War II, Ed attended Emory University and then began his career as an Engineer. He worked for Honeywell, Western Geophysical, and The Nasa Space Center in Houston, TX and earned several patents throughout his career and worked on equipment for Nasa that eventually landed on the moon. His passion in life was boating, fishing, and camping. In 1958, Ed built his very own boat with a small cabin that we used for over 20 years. Those memories of fishing and camping as a family will always be cherished by his daughter, Janet. He also had a grand collection of music, as well as model airplanes that he assembled and flew often. Ed was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He will be deeply missed by his family. Per his wishes he was cremated. A graveside service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday May 14, 2016 at East Lynn Cemetery in East Lynn, IL.
