Reg.#19883, S/Sgt. Edward 'Ed' Francis McCue
'Friends Not Forgotten'
S/Sgt. Ed McCue was born in 1938 at Freshwater, Argentia, NL.
It is certain that 'Ed' was born with a smile as he was one of very few people with a genuine laugh. Afterall, he was born in Newfoundland.
One night about 1970, I was on road block duties for impaired drivers near the National Park in Cavendish, PEI. Ed and I had not met as I was a 'new-be' to the Island. After I had been at the check point for a short time, 'Ed' came through the line of traffic. He put on his 'impaired' gig and I fell for it. Then, he broke out in a laugh ... he was so good at acting that I too had to laugh at his performance. For some years afterwards, he would not let me forget 'the night in the Park.'
Ed McCue served in 'A', 'L', 'B' & 'HQ' Div. He was honest and true.
S/Sgt. E. F. McCue died in 2008. He is buried in PEI..
