Dear Brian, Teresa, John and family,
Knowing you and your family it is easy to realize what a gentle man you father must have been. Thank you for sharing news with us during NYLT. Know that we continue to keep you and yours in our prayers.
Always,
Thelma and Jess Reeves
I found out today, April 29, 2022 that Ed had passed on.
Ed was a wonderful person to know. I sat next to him when I first joined Rockwell in 1969. Last time we chatted was in 1996. A very smart engineer but very quiet and always working… no wasted time. Very likable and gentle person. I didn’t even know he was a Korean War veteran.
I miss him but I’m happy to know he lived to 88.

For some reason Ed came to mind today, so I looked him up and found this sad news.
I was a new engineer at Goss in ’81.
Ed was 22 yrs my senior but we had a great time telling stories and sharing laughs. He helped me get used to my new job, and always great to be around.
I can clearly remember his chuckle when we were on the same page.
We probably havent talked for over 30+ years, but seems like yesterday.
Thanks Ed, hope to pick up where we left off.
