On October 25, 2012 Edwin Price Post II, aged 89, passed away peacefully at Sunrise Assisted Living of Columbia, Maryland.

Ed was born on June 9, 1923 on Staten Island, NY and was the second of five sons and two daughters born to Anna Josephine and George B. Post. Mr. Post was predeceased by his first wife, Beatrice Marie Post (d. October 23, 1987), his second wife, Jane Murphy Post (d. April 6, 2011), and three siblings, brothers George and David Post and sister, Betty Anne Johnson.

He is survived by his two daughters, Dorothy M. Mahrie of Burnsville, NC and Carol A. Koch of Durham, NC and three siblings, Donald Post of Mashpee, MA, Robert Post of Manassas, VA and Rosemary Barton of Melbourne Beach, FL.

Mr. Post served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and the Korean Conflict as a pattern maker and then for the U.S. Coast Guard as a carpenter at the Staten Island shipyards. He went on to work for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a building inspector in the states of New York and Maryland. After retirement from the government, Mr. Post continued to do the work that he loved as an independent building inspector in Maryland until his full retirement in 1992. He was an avid golfer and woodworker and made many beautiful inlaid jewelry boxes, carved lamps, and violins.
