Charles Edward (Ed) Pohl, MD, 94, of Lancaster, PA, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2024, at St. Anne's Retirement Community. Born in Philadelphia, PA, to the late Eva Maria Preiss Pohl and Charles Matthew Pohl, MD. Ed was a man of deep faith, intellect, generosity, and boundless curiosity. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, Nora Ann Pohl, and his son, Daniel Joseph Pohl.

Ed graduated from Manheim High School and earned his degree from Franklin & Marshall College in 1952. He followed his passion for medicine to Hahnemann Medical School, where he graduated in 1956. After medical school, Ed served as Lieutenant Commander at the Chelsea Naval Base near his home in Marblehead, MA, until 1965. Upon completing his service, Ed and Nora settled in Lancaster, PA, where he founded Urologic Associates and practiced urology for 36 successful years, becoming widely respected for his expertise and dedication to his patients.

Beyond his medical career, Ed had a rich life filled with pursuits that reflected his love of learning. He had a deep passion for history and antiques, often spending time researching various pieces of sterling silver with his wife, Nora. His curiosity about the past extended to his own family history, and he devoted countless hours to genealogical research, meticulously mapping out the Pohl family lineage on Ancestry.com.

Ed and Nora loved to travel, especially to Europe and Asia, where they soaked up the culture and history of each place they visited. He was a devoted father and grandfather, finding joy in spending time with his grandchildren and sharing with them his love of history, music, storytelling, and antiques. He is remembered for his sense of humor, kindness, and the extensive wisdom that he shared with all who knew him.

He is survived by his four children: Charles Edward Pohl II (Joan) of Coto de Caza, CA; Edward Franklin Pohl (Joanne) of Lancaster, PA; Michael James Pohl (Kerry) of Arlington, VA; and Marie Michelle "Mimi" Mackey (James) of Bellevue, WA. He also leaves behind fourteen grandchildren: Charles, Michael, James, and Caroline; Margaret, Hugh, and Eddie; Katherine, Claire, and Emily; Alexandra and James; and Sarah and Brigid.
