Ed Halamicek was born in Austin Co., Texas, to Ferdinand Halamitschek and Philippine Holzmann. In 1909 Ed married Annie Bednar in Shiner, Texas. The couple soon settled in Gonzales, TX and Ed had a dairy business and fruit store for several years. Later he opened a garage and auto supply business, which soon became known as Halamicek Auto Supply. He also raised cattle and had a large pecan grove on the Guadalupe river.
Ed was also a practical joker and liked to pull pranks on those he felt were most deserving. He is widely remembered in Gonzales for his humorous entries into the "Come and Take It Day" parades.
The couple had four children:
Roy Edward Halamicek
Fred Wilton Halamicek
Mabel Lillian Halamicek
Erna Mae Halamicek
Ed and Annie had six grandchildren, but only two of them have fond memories of "Popo" and his humor.
