Edward Charles Griglock, 36, a resident of Moosic, passed away Friday, May 11, 2012, at his parent’s home after a courageous battle with cancer. His wife of two years was the former Dawn Arcuri, West Scranton. The couple are the very proud parents of a baby girl, Emma Rose, 6 months Born in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of Edward Griglock and Valerie Marriggi Griglock. He was a graduate of Pittston Area High School, where he served as President of the Honor Society. He continued his education earning a post-graduate degree from the Temple University School of Pharmacy, where he also served as President of the Kappa Psi Beta Omega Pharmacy Chapter. He was a pharmacist at Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton, where he met the love of his life, Dawn, who soon became his wife. He was a historian of the Civil War and loved The Beatles. An accomplished musician himself, his collection of guitars was only outnumbered by Gettysburg artifacts. He was an insatiable reader, and had a lifelong passion for the Boston Red Sox, Notre Dame football, his family dogs and the music group Kiss. He never did anything halfway. He was all in. His greatest times in life were when he was surrounded by family, especially holidays at Auntie’s house. Family meant everything to him. He was a man of great faith. His earliest days found him serving as an altar boy at his family’s parish, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Pittston. The family has remained devoted to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and would also like to thank the Rev. Paul McDonnell, Monsignor David Tressler, the Rev. Thomas Muldowney and the Rev. Joe Sibilano for a lifetime of spiritual care. The family would like to express deepest gratitude to Dr. James Sheerer, Dr. Ken-
