Edward Carbo Obituary
ALBANY - Edward (Enrico) Carbo (1935-2025), passed away peacefully, on May 14, 2025, surrounded by his family. Born in Albany, New York, on May 11, 1935, Edward was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, father-in-law, uncle, and friend. After serving in the Army, he worked as a draftsman at the Watervliet Arsenal for over 20 years. He met Barbara (Hella), his wife of 65 years, on a blind date. It was love at first sight, and a lifelong friendship and love affair ensued.
He leaves behind three daughters, Dr. Laurie Carbo-Porter (Joseph Porter), Dr. Alecia Beard (Robert), Edlyna Talla; six grandsons, Max Nagelsmith, Edward Talla, Ryan (Lindsey) Beard, Richard (Susan) Beard, Jeremy (Jasmine) Beard, and Anthony (Julie) Beard; and six great-grandchildren, Aidan Beard, Julia Beard, Isabel Beard, Hannah Beard, Liam Beard, Jocelyn Beard.
Edward's greatest legacy is the joy he brought to the world. His easy smile, sense of humor, and kind, loving presence were gifts he generously shared throughout his life.

I was very sorry to read about Ed. We worked together at the Watervliet Arsenal/Benet Labs
for years.
He was virtually always in quite a cheerful mood and pleasant.
