To the family of Ed and Reginia Handy, I knew Ed when he worked at GE in Waynesboro many years ago. I lost touch when he moved to Texas. My prayers go out to their children you had great parents. Sorry for your lost.

Ed Handy was my supervisor at Augusta Newsprint for a short while. He had a very enjoyable distinct laugh that characterized his personality. He liked a technical challenge and shared what he learned with others. Ed was a good Christian man and I'm sure he is having the time of his life in his new heavenly environment.
