Edward James Sharkness

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bob Frank on December 25, 2023:

Ed and I would encounter each other in the classroom, but not in the wrestling room (thank goodness). He was always serious, but also quite friendly. I respected his determination in all things. Years later, when I ran the 40th Reunion, Ed was one of the first to volunteer to do whatever needed doing. He was always there when needed. That we did not have more contact over the years was a great loss. His passing to the Ghostly Assemblage is sad, but also reassuring knowing he has joined the company of so many Classmates. Rest in peace.
