Obituary of Edward G. Farnish, Sr.

Edward G. Farnish Sr., 80, of Monmouth Junction, NJ passed away on Monday, October 18, 2021.

Strong-willed and a country western fan and entertainer, Buddy, as he was affectionately known by many, was the embodiment of an all-around good man.  Buddy appreciated the many things his life had to offer, especially being outdoors.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, crabbing, the solace of being on the water on his boat and the open road in his truck or ‘78 Corvette.  Buddy was a proud Veteran of the United States Air Force.      

Predeceased by his parents Edward L. and Mary Farnish and daughter Marielna Farnish, Edward is survived by his wife of 48 years Judy (nee Twardos); his son Edward G. Jr; sisters, Joan Kushwarra (Mike) and Marie Dzoba (the late Joe); grandchildren, Daniel, Edward G. III, MaryLou, Jonathan and Aubrey.  Edward is also survived by dear nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
