In the Thursday Providence Journal obituary page was Egidio "Ed" Policastri,
long time Chief Engineer of WPRO. Passed away August 15th at Sakonnet Bay Manor.
Ham call was W1KUQ.
He is missed...
The same obituary page listed a Phyllis Policastri as passing away August
26th. While neither obituary mentioned each other, it did list them as
having the same children. They passed away at the same Sakonnet Bay Manor.
The same memorial service is mentioned for both. Saturday the 5th at 1:30pm
at Holy Trinity Church in Tiverton, RI.
Eddie was one of the good guys. He worked at WPRO and PRO-FM during its glory days.
Everyone who knew this soft spoken gentle genius of a man liked him.
What few knew was that he had two degrees from Brown University.
I will miss him.
My prayers go out for their family.
Godspeed Eddie!
