Dr. Edward R. Hotaling Jr.'s Obituary
Dr. Edward Roy Hotaling Jr., 82 of Maitland, Florida passed away Thursday, January 19, 2017.
Born on Tuesday, June 12, 1934 , in Orando, FL. he was the son of the late Edward R. Hotaling. Sr. and the late Hermina Susanna Kuzma Hotaling of Orlando, FL.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years Doris Ridgeway Hotaling, daughter of the late Samuel Bowman Ridgeway Sr. and Oline Dickey Ridgeway both of Spartanburg, SC.
Edward is survived by his two sons, Michael Bowman Hotaling of Jacksonville, FL and John Edward Hotaling and his wife, Charlene Marie Davis Hotaling of Winter Park, FL, and two grandchildren, John Charles Hotaling and Alexis Marie Hotaling of Winter Park, FL.
Dr. Hotaling attended Marks Street Elementary School, Memorial Jr. High School and Orlando High School. He attended Rollins College where he received his degree in choral conducting in 1956, then attended Northwestern University in Chicago and earned a PhD in music theory in 1964. Ed started teaching at Winter Park High School in 1970 and during his years there he taught Chorus and presented many musicals for the school. He also taught AP English, coached the tennis team and was the school photographer.
Dr. Hotaling started teaching at Florida Technological University (now U.C.F.) the first year the university opened. He taught in the Humanities dept. and the music dept. In retirement Ed and Doris enjoyed traveling throughout much of the United States, as well as many other countries around the world. Ed enjoyed playing golf, tennis, and bridge, along with fishing and reading. He has done extensive research with the genealogy of his family.
The final demonstration of his willingness to give to others was made when he decided to donate his body to the Anatomical Board of the State of Florida for the use in medical research and education. Ed Hotaling is still giving to others. His family and friends will miss his quiet, but enormous generosity with his love and knowledge he shared with all of us. Being small in stature, he was a giant in the lives of so many. A Celebration of the life of Ed will be held soon by his family and friends,
