Daniel J. Edminster, currently of Port Washington, WI, passed away unexpectedly at Columbia St. Marys Ozaukee Campus in Mequon, WI on Friday evening, July 3, 2009. He was 70 years old. Daniel was born at the family home in New London, WI along with his twin brother David, on December 1, 1938, son of James B. and Wilma C. (nee Bult) Edminster. He received his engineering degree from Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, WI and became an electrical engineer. On November 27, 1958, he was united in marriage with Carol Mae Ludtke at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church in New London, WI. The couple raised six children together. Dan had worked with many companies in Wisconsin, such as Briggs & Stratton and Doer Electric, but retired as an executive with General Industrial in Bald Knob, AR in 1999. Dan and Carol had lived in many different states, each time returning to Wisconsin. Most recently they had moved to Arkansas in 1995 and returned back home to Wisconsin after Dans retirement. Although he had always been a bit of a work-a-holic, Dan had enjoyed hunting and bowling when he was younger. An avid golfer, he also was quite a handy-man and enjoyed tinkering. Mostly, he just liked to keep busy. His wife and children always held the top spot in his heart, however, no matter how busy he was. Dan is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Carol, and their six children Debra (William Kratz) Nielsen of Port Washington, Michael (Kimberly) Edminster of Grafton, Margaret (Gary) Dorman of Opp, AL, Lisa (Michael) Lecher of Grafton, William (Julie) Edminster of Appleton and Danyelle (Richard Needham) Edminster of Port Washington.
