  [S927] Obituary. Edwin Bender, 87, Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center, died July 3, 1999, in a Bismarck hospital. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at First Lutheran Church, Bismarck, with the Rev. Tom Dunham officiating. Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery. Visitation will be from 2-9 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Perry Funeral Home, Mandan, and will continue at the church one hour before services. Edwin was born March 9, 1912, at Tripp, S.D., to John and Caroline (Hirsch) Bender. The family moved to Washburn in 1916. He attended rural Washburn schools and worked for area farmers, and in local coal mines as a young man. On May 23, 1937, he married Leontina Weisz at Underwood. They farmed in the Underwood-Washburn area, and Ed worked on the construction of the Garrison Dam intake structure. They moved to Bismarck in 1959, where he worked at various service stations as a mechanic until retiring in 1979. During his retirement years he enjoyed camping trips with his wife and family, his workshop and tending his yard and bountiful garden. He was always ready to help his children with projects and rescue his daughters when they needed any help with their cars. He entered Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center in 1996, and resided there until his recent hospitalization. Ed was a very special husband, father and grandfather, and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, Lee; two daughters and sons-in-law, Dar and James Rezmer, Tampa, Fla., and Bev and Tom Anderson-Fretty, Bismarck; four sons and three daughters-in-law, Robert and Minon, Jamestown, David and Shirley, Thornton, Colo., Rodney and Dianne, Bismarck, and Jack, Lake Havasu City, Ariz.; eight grandchildren; 12 step-grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and one sister, Ella Bender, Bismarck. He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers; and four sisters. Copyright 2014 Bismarck Tribune. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or
