Edward Jay Wallace, 78, died sud-
denly at home of natural causes
on Thursday, April 28, 2022.Born in
Philadelphia, PA, on March 6,1944,
Ed was the oldest of ﬁ ve children of
Oscar and Sylvia (Berman) Wallace.

He graduated from Overbrook High
School in 1962 and became a union
electrician, recently honored by
IBEW 98 for 50-plus years of service.

Drafted into the U.S. Army during
the Vietnam War, he was posted to
Frankfurt, Germany, then returned to
his hometown for good…followed by
the 911 Porsche he’d bought there.

Because besides being a rabid sup-
porter of Philly sports teams, Ed was
a car aﬁ cionado, and he considered
his recent visit to Richard Petty Driv-
ing Experience a high point in his
life. He was a terriﬁ c dancer and
master of the kazatske, able to jump
up and kick out both legs in the air.

Ed was also a loyal companion to
his widowed mother until her death
in 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed his
own last years of life, traveling and
ﬁ nding romance, attending sports
and social events, and playing pool
and sharing meals with friends. He
was a loving and beloved son, broth-
er, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and
friend, generous with his time, affec-
tion and resources. His nickname
was “Bird,” and now his spirit has
ﬂ own. Ed is survived by his siblings
Marc Wallace (Gini Kopecky Wal-
lace), Marsha Wallace, MD, and
Jayne Wallace (Michael Cohen); sis-
ter-in-law Ellen Siegel, PhD (the late
Richard Wallace, MD); niece and
nephews Amanda Yollin, Ben Sie-
gel-Wallace (Jasmine Zheng, MD),
Micah Wallace (Rachel Wallace,
PhD) and Samuel Siegel-Wallace;
and two new great-nephews. In lieu
of ﬂ owers, donations may be made
to National Alliance on Mental Illness.
