Edward W. Case

Edward W. Case, formerly of Aquebogue, died peacefully at Peconic Landing in Greenport on June 8, 2024.

Born in November 1931 to Edward W. and Marion (Fraties) Case, Ed grew up in Brooklyn. He had an older sister, Jacqueline Case Lorenzen, who died in 2012. 

Ed graduated from high school in 1951 and served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict. In 1954, he married Marjorie Schrafel, whom he met while working a summer job in Windham, N.Y. They were happily married for 60 years. After living in Levittown, Pa., and Floral Park, they settled in Garden City in 1965, where they raised two sons. 

Ed worked for four decades as an executive at AJ Schrafel Paper Co. in Bellerose. In 2002, after he retired, Ed and Marjorie relocated to Aquebogue and Vero Beach, Fla. After Marjorie’s death in 2014, Ed divided his time between Peconic Landing and Vero Beach. 

Ed was an avid boater, golfer and Islander fan. He enjoyed woodworking, his tennis group and ski trips with his family. He will be remembered for his fun-loving nature, sense of humor and optimism. 

Ed is survived by his sons, Ted and David; daughters-in-law Mary and Elizabeth; grandchildren Brian, Colin, Charlotte and Isabelle; and many nephews, nieces, grandnieces and -nephews, and great-grandnieces and -nephews — all of whom he loved dearly.

A funeral Mass will be held at the Church of St. Joseph in Garden City Saturday, Sept. 21, at 9:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Ed’s memory to the St. Francis Hospital Heart Center in Roslyn.
