Ed attended Teachers College of CT, now CCSU, but prior to college left high school early to proudly serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was Personnel Director at Atlantic Machine Tool, later Textron Corporation, where he helped and touched the lives of many in the Polish community for 30 years before retiring in 1992.

Ed was predeceased by two brothers, John Malicki, Jr. and Joseph Malicki; and a sister, Josephine Leavens. Dad taught us all by his example the importance of a strong family bond and unconditional love for one another. Everyone that ever came through the door was greeted with a hug and a smile.
