I am truly saddened by Ed's passing. We worked for many years at the Shipyard. I remember his first days at the yard. I enjoyed watching him grow from an apprentice to Industrial Electronics Control Mechanic then on to the instructor position. Ed left his mark on this world. First as a kind giving person then as a talented instructor teaching apprentices how to earn a living for their family. He will be sorely missed. Ed your memories of our time at the yard is etched in my memory for eternity. RPI old friend. Mike Thompson

I convinced Ed to join GSK back in 1996. We worked together for many years and I very much respected and admired him.

My condolences to Ed's family in this difficult time.
