Edwin was born October 17, 1934 to John and Julia (Lastovica) Husak in West. Born and raised on the family farm near West, he attended the old Leggott School and lived in a two room house in the country, and played football making the All District Team. After graduation from West High School in 1953, he went on to work at Sears Roebuck and Company in Waco. Then in 1956 he went to work for General Tire and Rubber Company in Waco and worked there for 40 years until its official closure. Edwin stayed and worked with their distribution center for 10 more years. On June 16, 1956, he married the love of his life, Erline Marek, at the West Brethren Church. They were blessed with 65 years of marriage, two children, Cindy Sulak and Dan Husak, eight grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Edwin was a lifelong and faithful member of the West Brethren Church, serving on the Board of Elders for many years. He was a Mason since 1962, belonging to the West Masonic Lodge #475. He had a strong sense of community service, through many memberships including the National Rifle Association and a Director on the Board of Hilltop Water Supply Corporation. Edwin loved working in his woodshop while building things for his family and friends. He enjoyed driving his Farmall Super C on his 6.5 acre farm, tending to his garden, and raising calves, chickens, hogs and horses. Above all, his greatest pleasure was watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren playing sports. He tried to see every game, despite the struggle to be at multiple games at the same time.
