Edwin Dusing, ran ice company
Edwin J. Dusing's grandchildren used to crowd around him at EEE Swim Club in Erlanger when they were young and share small cups of chocolate malt ice cream with their grandfather.
It was the type of ice cream you ate with a little wooden spoon, recalls Mr. Dusing's granddaughter, Nicole Dusing, 20, of Villa Hills.
"We would get one (cup), and we would all share it. We would wait our turns to get the ice cream from Papaw."
Mr. Dusing, of Erlanger, laughed a lot and loved to play with his grandkids. "He was just a really lovable guy, " Miss Dusing said. "I remember him smiling and laughing a lot. He was very affectionate."
