Edwin Hamilton Gygi was born on February 22, 1929 and passed away without pain 
or remorse on April 26, 2006. 

Born and raised in Elkhart, Indiana, he graduated from Concorde High School in 
1947. He received his Bachelor's degree, and later his Master's degree in 
Chemical Engineering from Purdue University in 1956. Between the start and 
finish of his education, he served with great pride in the United States Army 
during the Korean War. 

Edwin was married in 1951 to Patricia Robbins, also from Elkhart. Together they 
moved to Longview, Washington in 1956, where he began his career with 
Weyerhaeuser, from where he would retire after 44 years of service. 

A sports car enthusiast who was never without a hot coupe during the second 
half of his life, he also enjoyed sailing and traveled extensively, with an eye 
out for historic sites. 

Edwin was a devout family man who enjoyed nothing more than spending time with 
and assisting his family. He is survived by his two sons, James and Thomas; 
daughter, Ann; and five grandchildren. His family and all those whose lives he 
touched shall miss him deeply. 

We love you, Father. 

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 6, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. at the 
First United Methodist Church in Olympia. In lieu of flowers, the family asks 
that donations be made to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (www.vfw.org).
