Edson Donald De Castro

R.I.P Edson....
My dad worked so hard for close to twenty years taking care of DG Facilities. Your efforts to establish DG enabled my family to better themselves

I met Edson De Castro at the awards banquet in San Fransisco. I was a field engineer for just over 20yrs. Great company to work for because they cared about their employees. When DG fell on hard times I don't know a single person that left for another job.

Loved working at DG! I started in 1981 as a 3rd shift computer operator for F.E.M.I.S (Field Engineering MIS) at the Framingham Logistics-Repair Depot on Old Connecticut Path. It was my first job out of high school -- the best and most exciting times in our country and the computer industry. Thank you Ed DeCastro from #31780 p.s. I still have my 5-year service gift, it's like new, see attached. p.p.s. Although the Nova was before my time at DG, many have asked about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S49kH6XXo6A

I worked at DG from 1987-1991. I remember Mr. De Castro's amazing attention to detail in every product we made, and getting to ride in the company helicopter with him at the controls.

I owe my career to Mr. DeCastro. I had the opportunity to be involved in the ground floor design of Educational Services Unix training curriculum. Even had Mr. DeCastro attend one of my early Introduction to Unix courses. It was a pleasure to have had him in class and I was proud to be a Data General employee. I am forever indebted. Rest in peace.

I had the good fortune to work at Data General in the 80's and Mr. DeCastro was such a kind and caring person. Rest in peace sir and may God bless you and all of your family, always.
