Ed was a partner at Goulston & Storrs in Boston when I joined the firm out of law school in 1979. He was extremely bright and creative, using not only his legal expertise but his considerable business skills to problem solve on behalf of his clients. Ed's intellect was paired with a warm and engaging personality and an easy smile.
I both liked and respected him tremendously.
The last time I saw Ed was several years ago when I spotted him at a local restaurant. We hadn't seen each other in more than 10 years but he warmly introduced me to everyone at his table. His smile was the same Ed that I remembered and the Ed that I won't forget.

The lions of the last. greatest generation are gradually disappearing, and it is a melancholy time for those of us who have been left behind and now have only our memories of our parents and aunts and uncles.
Susie and Eddie Lavine were cousins, but they felt for a time like younger and more fun versions of our parents. We saw them often, along with their children, Karen and Nancy. I got to be a one of their kids for a bit when I stayed with them while my parents were on vacation. Eddie was pretty strict!
Dad lived with his older sister, Evelyn, and her husband, Sam Proger, for his first two years at Harvard College, and he became a part of the Proger family. Susie was an infant and toddler, but he became very attached to her. I still have many of the letters that he wrote to the Progers when he was in the Army, and, Dad always asked after Susie and thought she was very fetching and very, very smart!
Susie and her sister Nancy came to visit Robert and me when our mother died two years ago. Eddie was not well enough to join her, which made me sadder still.
My thoughts go out to the three Lavines..
Fondly, Laura Levinson Smith

My family was very close to
Eddie, Susie, Karen and Nancy when I was quite young, and I always enjoyed
their company. Sometimes
it can be a shame to grow up and go in different
directions.
