Edwin J. "E.J." (Ballor) Dresser

I chose this day, May 16, 2017 to join my maternal grandparents on the other side of this earthly place. Age of 49 years. He was born September 8, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. E. J. was proud of being a decedent of John Hart who was the signer of the Declaration of Independence. E.J. graduated from DeVry University Suma Cum Lade with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information and Security. He led a simple life, was a nature lover and tree hugger, had a curious mind, a love for learning and had a great love for his dog Murphy. "He was a dedicated computer nerd and marched to the beat of his own drum." Left to cherish his memory is his mother and his friend who each other relied on, Lynda C. Dresser; his great uncle, Leonard (Geri) Kaczorowski and his cousins. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Kenneth and Eleanor Dresser and his great aunts and uncles. Funeral Services will take place Monday, May 22, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at Gephart Funeral Home, Inc. with burial following in Calvary Cemetery. The family will be present at the funeral home to receive family and friends from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services. Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider donations to the D.A.V. in memory of his grandfather, Brian's House in Memory of his grandmother and the Humane Society of Bay County in memory of his dog, Murphy.
