Edward Clemens Rosen, 91, of Harrison, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on April 29, 2023. Born October 13, 1931, to George and Flora Rosen, he was the seventh of eight children and grew up on a dairy farm near Madisonville, Ohio.

He worked for Proctor & Gamble, retiring in 1993. An avid golfer, he found the perfect retirement job working at Circling HiIls Golf Course for the next 27 years. And of course, he played whenever he had a chance.
