Marge's husband was Edwin Everett Bauman. Born in Manhattan, NY to Jacob Rudolph Bauman and Leocadia Andrea Cabrera, Ed was raised in the Bronx, NY and later, Ridgefield Park, NJ. He had two half sisters, Elizabeth "Bessie" (Bauman) Osserman (memorial #91420830)) and Sadie/Sylvia Bauman, and a half brother, Emanuel William Bauman (memorial #91422751), from his father's first marriage. Ed's father passed away in 1941 several months before Ed turned 18 years old.
In addition to Ed's half siblings he had a first cousin once removed named Gladys C. Roche with whom he was very close. Ed's half siblings were older and not part of his family but Gladys was like a sister. They remained close throughout their lives. Finding it difficult to explain to his young children how he and Gladys were related, Ed had his children call her Aunt Gladys.
Ed enlisted in the Army March 2, 1944 (private) and received an Honorable Discharge November 10, 1945 (corporal). He served as an airplane and engine mechanic as well as a Supply Clerk while enlisted.
After leaving military service, Ed attended Stevens Institute of Technology where he received a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Industrial Engineering. He was successful in obtaining a patent for "Aneroids, Including Loading Mechanism Therefor" (patent #2489073).
Ed owned and operated two manufacturing companies; Shield Craft which produced wood sports equipment such as paddle ball paddles and Glidelight Industries which produced high intensity fluorescent lamps.
Ed's priorities were to provide for his family and to assure the success of his children. He made it possible for each of his children to attend college if they chose to do so. He taught a strong work ethic while balancing life with fun activities such as camping and fishing. He was a Boy Scout leader and started a troop in Hackensack, NJ near his manufacturing plant for the local boys of that community. He cared for his employees and tried to help them achieve success beyond what he could offer them at his plant. He was civic minded and took action when he thought he could help.
Marge and Ed raised their children first in Bogota, NJ and then Mahwah, NJ. When the children were grown and after Marge's passing, Ed married Fausta (Antonelli) Weir March 25, 1984. That marriage ended in divorce a number of years later. Following his marriage and divorce from Fausta Ed moved to Bayonne, NJ, then Clifton, NJ and finally to Paramus, NJ. He died at the NJ Veteran's Memorial Home in Paramus. His remains were cremated and interred with his wife, Marge.
