Edward Earle Garlick

Muriel, coincidentally we just found today a very nice letter from Ed commenting on Paco's appointment as Honorary Commodore of ShYC in the Mediterranean with the condition that Paco should fly the clubs' burgee over his desk! From Italy we always reminisced about the good times we had at the club. Always good memories of both of you. Receive our condolences. Our love to you and family. Paco and Lucky Sabin

Carolyn and I were very saddened to learn of Eds passing. Ever since I started my practice in Westport in the 1960s he was a true friend and colleague, and always a gentleman. Our condolences to his family.

I have many memories of Edward from the days when we fought to win the club sailing championship. Ed really liked winning - - he never won the top trophy but never stopped trying. The energy he put into sailing and the energy and hours he put into working for the club were unmatched by relatively few members. He was a prime example of what has made this club a great place to raise a family the premier club it is today. To Muriel and the kids my condolences, we have lost a very special person.

Ed was my first employer out of law school. He was ultimate country lawyer gentleman. He was a great teacher and mentor. I learned the practice of law from Ed and his partners and 42 years later I still reflect on how lucky I was to have my first job with Ed. Ed loved skiing and sailing. Skiing I knew how to do but sailing not so much. Racing a sailing boat with Ed was an experience I will never forget. Anyone that raced with or against Ed on those Wednesday nights will know exactly...
