Ed was a graduate of Worcester Boys Trade School. He proudly served his country as a U.S. Marine in WWII, stationed in China.
He worked as a toolmaker at Wyman Gordon for 17 years, retiring in 1979.
Ed loved deep-sea fishing, in his boat, the ‘Helena J,’ vacationing in Ft. Myers, FL, gardening, and Foxwoods. He loved to tinker - if something broke, he could fix it.
Most of all, Ed will be remembered for his zest for life.
