Edward Kardashian Sr.

It has been a tragic week for the Kardashians. Not that death is tragic, but so many in one extended family.

Edward Kardashian Sr. worked for Dunn-Edwards paint. He started in the store as a salesman, then mixer. He was one of the finest eye matchers around. He won an informal contest by matching the color of the Golden Gate Bridge -- orange -- in less than five minutes.

In his retirement, Kardashian was a landscape painter. He often painted the land and bay around the Golden Gate Bridge. He won a bridge painting contest -- humor award -- for painting the Bay Bridge orange. His humor will be missed.

He is not survived by his son Edward Kardashian Jr. who died last year in a car accident.
