Ed was the husband of Carol (Terko) Green, and was predeceased by his brother, William and sisters, Shirley Bowmaker and Clarissa J. Donovan. Ed was born in Albany in 1924, and, following his graduation from C.B.A., enlisted in the Navy in 1943 as a Naval Aviator, earning his wings as a Corsair pilot. After the war, Ed attended Siena College on the G.I. Bill, and soon after landed in Binghamton working for the American Cement Co. for many years. Later times found him back in Albany for a second career with New York State in the Dept. of State agency.
