Edward Daszynski
March 6, 1918 -- Jan. 16, 2007
(from the obituary)
In 1941, Ed joined the Army and his 91st Rcn. Sq. led the
way from Casa Blanca, Africa, to Tunis and Beserti. Later
his unit invaded Sicily; they fought their way up the west
coast of Italy. They were the first to contact Anzio troops,
the first to enter Naples, and the first to enter Rome. He
returned home in 1945, married and raised a family. He
wrote "The Crumstown Family Life and History" which
was donated to the South Bend library. He established
Mishawaka Lath & Plaster Co. in 1950. He loved
construction and did not stop at real buildings... he built
14 amazing doll houses, model railroads, a family farm
house, a peppermint still, a log cabin and a haunted
house - most of them given to children or donated to the
Center for History. He enjoyed telling stories, hunting &
fishing, bowling, pool, and wood-working.
