So sorry to learn of Ed's passing. He and I were Supervisors in the same division in the 90's at Morton. He helped me more than I realized at the time and gave me some great advice, not only job-related but personal as well.

Condolences to the Family. Ed was my supervisor in mid 70;s when I was computer programmer. Ed helped me more than I knew at the time, glad I realized it later and thanked him for his mentorship.
He was an Information Technology (IT) "founder" within Caterpillar Parts Distribution.
