Edwin W. Pomerleau ’37

Former Navy man and faithful Annual Giver, Ed Pomerleau died Apr. 28, 1998. He left his wife of 45 years, Rosemary, sons Peter and Paul, and two grandchildren.

Ed was on the football and baseball teams at Andover and majored in politics at Princeton. After a bit in the wool brokerage business he entered the Navy in Apr. 1941 as a seaman second class. In 1942 he was in the Store Keeper's School in Toledo and was then stationed at the Naval Air Station in Melbourne, Fla., as assistant personnel officer and educational officer, becoming a lieutenant, but in 1946 became permanently and totally disabled because of multiple sclerosis. He became a cashier in 1951 at the Cedar Crest Restaurant in Lawrence, Mass., where he had started. The family spent five months a year at their summer place in Salisbury Beach, Mass. He also spent time in Methuen, Mass.

Overcoming bitterness and selfpity, his notes were always cheerful and pleasant. The class sends its best wishes to his family.
