Edmund Hauschild Obituary
Edmund A. Hauschild (Datch, Boompa), 92, passed from this life on Sunday morning, November 29, 2020 following a battle with COVID-19. Ed was born in Willimantic, CT on May 7, 1928 (a birthday he shares with his great grandson, Brayden) to the late Olga and Walter Hauschild.
Ed attended Windham High School and worked at Mountain Dairy and the University of Connecticut part time during his high school years. Shortly after graduation he joined the army. Edmund and Helen married on November 11, 1950 and moved to Virginia while Ed was stationed at the army base. The following year he was part of the occupying forces in Germany. Through education, training and leadership he attained the rank of Master Sergeant. Following his service to his country Helen and Ed moved to Andover and Ed resumed his long career at the University of Connecticut. He began working in the keyshop and typewriter repair and advanced through hard work and training to Director of Building Services at the University. During his prime working years Ed gave back to the community by becoming a proud member of the State Police Auxiliary and the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Following his retirement from the University in 1983 he began a second career as Director of Building Services for the Glastonbury School System. He retired from that position in 1994.
Ed enjoyed hunting and fishing with his sons and his favorite son-in-law and grandchildren in Connecticut and at his cottage in Averill, Vermont. Helen and Ed enjoyed a lifetime of summers on Great Averill Lake. A dog was almost always at his side.
He was predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years, Helen (Gasper) Hauschild. He is also predeceased by his son and namesake Edmund A. Hauschild, Jr.
