I worked with Ed at M/A Com from 1965

to 1988 - Ed did my taxes every year since. As stated Ed would give you

the shirt off his back - he was just

such a nice person. I know he will

be missed by his extended family and

many friends.

Our condolences to the Barrett family. We worked with Ed at M/A-COM and what a terrific guy. He would give you the shirt off his back if he could. He certainly will have a much deserved spot waiting for him in Heaven.

One of my favorite memories of my Uncle Eddy was their trips to Yakima with several of my cousins in tow, horseback riding in the mountains, taking over the entire hotel and swimming pool and most of all, singing all the old sings 'til 2 am in the Colvin's back yard on a hot summer night. Uncle Eddy was always a "fan" of my Dad's and everytime I visited him and Auntie Marilyn at Hampton he would express that fondness and remember him as "the greatest"... it always made me feel so good. So there are 2 of "the greatest" now in heaven, Eddy and George talking each other's ears off, enjoying their friendship and watching over their families.... Love, Cheryl and Denny
