Ed was my first boss. As a 16 year old kid getting his feet wet in the machining industry
I learned a lot,
“If you got time to lean, you got time to clean.”
Ed took a liking to me maybe because we had birthdays on 4-20
But more likely because I liked to work and make money.
Working Saturdays just him in the office and me on the shop floor cleaning. A trip out to his daughter’s house to get hay or straw.
We always had something he had to work on.
Worked on some cool stuff in the year I worked for him.
8 place EGR value machine for GM.
Black top Hot road patchers.
He liked to tell stories.
The one I remember the most was how his wife had to purchase his first car (I think it was a 57 Chevy Bel air) because he was to young.
I will always have fond memories of working for and with Ed at Spaulding machine.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
