HAMPTON - Retired Navy Cmdr. Edmund J. "Ned" Stronski, 90, passed away Tuesday, 
Oct. 26, 2010 in Suffolk. Born in Albany, N.Y., June 20, 1920, he was a longtime

Ned lived in Schenectady, N.Y., at his parental home until he entered the Navy in

Ned was a veteran of World War II, as well as the Korean and Vietnam wartime

of the USS Turner (DDR-834) and the USS Earl B. Hall (APD-107). Additionally, he 
served six years of sea duty with the U.S. Naval Meteorological Service. He 
retired from the Navy in 1968 after 26 years of active duty. Upon retirement from

High School for 13 years.

Ned was a longtime parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Hampton. He served 
on the parish board for several years as well as the new church building

Mariners' Museum for more than 20 years and was a life member of the Military
