Ed Ogdee
“Edward Ogdee had a quality, an intangible quality all of us wish we had,” and according to his son, Ronald Ogdee, “it’s called charisma.”
Of his father who passed away at the age of 91 on Saturday, Ron Ogdee said, “He was such a charismatic person, he could enter a room and people would like him from across the room.” He laughed as he continued, “It was even hard to go to Wal-Mart with him in later years.”
Born in 1920, Edward Ogdee was a child in the roaring 20s, and he grew up in San Benito during a time where there were no paved streets. “Dad was pretty popular,” Ron noted. “He was a four-sport letterman (football, baseball, basketball, and track) and voted Best All-Around boy by his senior class.”
