Mr. Edgardo "Ed" Bosch Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Small in stature, but large in personality, Edgardo “Ed” Bosch departed this life on January 24, 2020. Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico on July 11, 1937, he was a man who loved his family, his work, and serving others. At the age of 17 years, Ed joined the US Air Force and began his career in the medical field as a corpsman. Upon conclusion of his service to our country, he attended and graduated from the St Louis City Hospital School of Nursing. Following graduation, he married Ellen Joyce Gray and moved to Springfield, Illinois to attend St John’s School of Anesthesiology and to start a family. In 1968, the Bosch family moved to Foley, Alabama, where he was a Nurse Anesthetist at South Baldwin Hospital for 25 years. Following his employment at South Baldwin Hospital, Ed travelled throughout the Southeast, working as a locum tenens anesthetist, then retired to contribute his talents to his community and the world through his tireless service to medical missionary groups. Everywhere he went, Ed immediately became known to those around him as a man who was skilled in his profession, quick of wit, and big of heart. He never left a job, a golf game, or a University of Alabama function without making numerous new friends. Ed was widely loved by those whose lives he touched. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Ellen Joyce (Gray) Bosch, daughter Judge Carmen Bosch (Scott), son Edgardo “Chi Chi” Bosch (Tonia), three wonderful grandchildren, three beautiful step grandchildren, and two amazing great grandchildren, as well as three sisters and numerous nieces and nephews both in Puerto Rico and on the mainland. His family remembers many good times together at their home in the paradise that is Baldwin County. Visitation with the family will be held at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Foley, Alabama on January 30, beginning at 10 am and a memorial service to follow at 12 noon, with interment at the Alabama State Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery, Spanish Fort, AL to follow with military honors. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in honor of Ed Bosch to St Paul’s Episcopal Church Outreach/Mission Fund, 508 N Pine St, Foley Alabama, to continue his work in helping others.
