ITHACA - Edmund V. Hollenbeck, 70, of 2213 N. Triphammer Road, Ithaca, died Thursday, Feb. 17, 2005, at the Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca.
Ed was born July 7, 1934, at Dryden, a son of the late Everett and Louella VanOrder Hollenbeck. He graduated from Ithaca High School in 1953 and from Cornell University in 1959. Ed served in the Army and was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant.
On May 15, 1954, he was married to the former Lorraine Carpenter, at St. Paul's United Methodist Church. Ed was employed for many years at Cornell University in data processing positions, and retired from United Engineers in Oswego, where he was the first vice president in charge of data processing.
He was a member and past master of Fidelity Lodge No. 51, F&AM, a member and past officer in the Royal Arch Masons. Ed also was a member of the Balbec Grotto in Ithaca, Cashmere Grotto in Elmira and Keder Kahn Grotto in Syracuse. He was a past president and secretary emeritus of the Empire State Grotto Association. He was appointed as grand representative to the Grand Lodge of Alabama, and was a member and past president of the Ithaca Masonic Temple Corporation.
One of his fun activities was clowning with the Grotto at parades, veterans homes and nursing homes. A cheerful, jovial and outgoing man, Ed will always be remembered for his devotion to his family and Masonic endeavors. Once you met Ed, you soon felt you had always known him and you always wanted to.
