We are saddened to report the passing of long time Triton, Ed Littel. Ed passed away peacefully in his sleep. He joined the Tritons in 1987 and served on the Board for many years. He would attend OW training operating the boat, helping with check-in of the students, schlepping gear, whatever was needed. He and his wife, Elaine were fixtures at many of the social events. He and his dive buddy, Tom Atchison were the original AARP divers. (Showing up for a dive in matching Fathom wetsuits, black with red stripe. They said it was a special from AARP and were from then on labeled the AARP divers.). His obit hasn’t been posted as yet so we don’t have any details other than the date of the Memorial. And to note that Ed was a proud Marine - once a Marine always a Marine!
