Edmund had worked at Citizens National Bank in Newport and then enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1942, later joining the U.S. Army. He attended the University of Minnesota and was a graduate of the University of New Hampshire with a degree in electrical engineering in 1949. During a long engineering career, Mr. Kubliski was employed by Radio Engineering Laboratories in Long Island, NY, and then by International Telegraph and Telephone in Clifton, NJ.  In 1979 he started work as a test engineer at  Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, an Army Research and DevelopmentCenter, retiring in 1996. In the summer of 1971, Edmund met Judy Altevogt on the beach in East Hampton, New York and they married on December 11, 1971.   Their daughter, Karen, was born in February 1973. Edmund loved ice skating, skiing, golfing, and sailing. He was a ham radio operator and a member of the Morris Radio Club in New Jersey.  His call letters, KC2FSK, will be retired.  He was a member and picnic chairman of the Mountain Lakes Sailing Association and enjoyed Sunfish regattas on MountainLake and competitions on other lakes, including LakeOntario.  Early on, he won the “Old Salt” award.  He was an avid wood collector for his wood stove in Mountain Lakes, NJ, keeping his family warm during power outages.  He was a life-long Mason, belonging to Francis Lewis Lodge No. 273, in Whitestone, NY.  He was a member of the Ocean Grove Auditorium Usher’s Association and the Ocean Grove Fishing Club, where he and Judy had a shore house. With his wife, Judy, he enjoyed gardening and entertaining.  After moving to Texas in 2011, he and Judy became members of the Community Unitarian Universalist Church in Plano. Ed was a wonderful husband and father, always patient, gentle, and loving.  He saw the best in everyone.  His engineering expertise helped Judy with all life’s questions and problems. He had a steel trap memory, near photographic, remembering everyone’s name and stories.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
