Edward Joseph Brogley
April 20, 1953- November 15, 2021
Edward Joseph Brogley passed away on November 15, 2021 at his Montgomeryville homestead surrounded by loved ones after a year long battle with cancer. He is survived and lovingly remembered by his high-school sweetheart and wife of 46 years, Victoria Brogley, his daughters: Gwen Brogley, wife of Gerard Quinn, from Phoenix, Arizona, and Janel A. Work, wife of Jonathan Work, from Phoenixville, PA, his three grandchildren: Maxwell, Nathaniel and Arianna Work and fondly remembered by his siblings Cathy Donohue, Joseph Brogley and William Brogley.
Edward was born and raised in Kensington, Philadelphia. In the mid-sixties, he moved to Lansdale and thanks to his brother, Butch, found a new path forward. He also found the love of his life at North Penn High School. Together they graduated in 1970. Ed enjoyed recreational baseball and was a professional bowler for several years. Vicki and Ed married on June 21, 1975. They loved their Montgomeryville homestead throughout the rest of Ed's life.
Professionally, during the seventies and eighties Ed worked for Charles Shoemaker, Herbert H. Metz and Metz Engineers until he decided to find his true passion. He became the embodiment of the American Dream and founded his own land surveying and civil engineering firm. In 1994, Fore Site Land Services, Inc., was born. It became everything Ed stood for: a company that achieved success by adhering to the core values of honesty, integrity, accuracy and commitment, and through the employees who still are considered family.
Just like with work, Ed was a self-taught poet and documented major moments in his family's lives throughout the decades by writing poetry. He loved his family, researching family history, playing cards, lottery scratch-off tickets and vacationing with family. Overall, he enjoyed living life filled with vast memories.
