John,
I’m not sure what your procedure is for reporting the passing of our alums.
I offer you the email thread on Ed’s rapid illness and passing.
Thank you for the great service you perform for all of us.
John Van Name ’70

I’m sorry to tell you that Ed passed away today. It is unbelievable that last Sunday we were watching the Giants and today we are planning his funeral. He was special. He put up a valiant fight but it just wasn’t to be. Say a prayer for Ed and for those of us left behind who loved him.
I am attaching the details for the wake and service. Aquebogue is very far for some of you. I would love to see you all but if it is too far -please have a glass of wine ( red is his favorite) and remember one great guy.
ROSALIE

The report was about as bad as could be. Ed suffered multiple devastating strokes. I’m trying my best to get this info out to as many people as I can while trying to process this information. Please give me a little time to get myself together. Keep the prayers coming. Lynn

Subject: Pray for Ed
This is Lynn. This is a very hard email to write. Monday Ed awoke with the worst headache he ever had and was extremely dizzy. He was sort of out of it. I called 911 and we took him to Peconic Bay Hosp where they did a cat scan. There was blood in his brain so they transported him to Stony Brook Hosp where they had a neurologist waiting for us.He was in surgery for over three hours. They removed part of his skull to relieve the pressure. They called it a brain bleed. Of course, the blood thinners only made things worse. He is in a medically induced coma. After a few days they will try to bring him out of the coma. Then we will have a better idea of where he stands. Ed is gravely ill.
I know everyone sends him good thoughts and when I have a better idea of where we are going I will try to update all his friends.
I’m in and out of the house so an e mail is better for communicating than the phone. I will try to keep you informed. Lynn
