I am saddened to read of Ed's passing and send you my deepest condolences. His life of service to the nation and his personality that brought enjoyment to so many will long be remembered by his former colleagues at the Agency and in CIRA. God bless you, Ed, and his memory.

I had the pleasure of working for Ed for several years. I always appreciated his wit and dry sense of humor and yes, his huge stack of books that he kept around his desk. The biggest fun we had in the office was several of us had the same name and so we actually had to assign us numbers to keep track of us. When a 5th person joined our group with a different name, she's still got assigned a number.So fun! I will always treasure the years that I worked for him. Although many times the hours were long we were able to make great strides in moving the company forward and his ability to problem solve and create reasonable, workable alternatives for hard issues were invaluable. He was so brilliant and dedicated to not only his job but his wife and the Masons. My deepest condolences to Gwen. He will be definitely missed by all who knew him.
I served as Master of Henry Lodge No. 57 in the same year that Ed Cohen was the Grand Master of Masons in Virginia. Henry Lodge No. 57 was Ed Cohen's home lodge. Busy as he was that year he gave great support to me in my office. Ed Cohen will be missed by all who knew him. David Stringfellow
