Edward R. DePamphilis, 94, of Quakertown passed away on January 18, 2023. He was born in Philadelphia on September 28, 1928 to the late Edward and Annabelle (Penater) DePamphilis. He was the loving husband of Catherine (Sauermelch) DePamphilis for 68 years until her passing in 2020.
After enlisting in the Army in 1948, Ed proudly served as a Sergeant and a Combat Engineer. He spent two years in Guam before being called back to serve in the Korean War.

He worked as a machinist at SKF Industries in Philadelphia and Compressor Products in Newtown as a shop foreman, while raising five children in Northeast Philadelphia and Bucks County, PA. In their later years, Ed and Catherine retired to Delaware before moving back to the Quakertown area to be closer to family. Ed was an avid Eagles fan, and a devout Catholic.
