He was born in Denver, CO on January 3, 1952, a son of Eleanor (Govin) Cummings of Vero Beach, FL and the late Edward Stanley Cummings II. Ed was raised and educated in Shrewsbury, MA and graduated from Shrewsbury High School, Class of 1970. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from Babson College, Boston, MA. He made his home in Amherst for the past 34 years. Before retiring about 10 years ago, he had been employed in sales and worked for 3M Company for his entire career. Ed’s passion and hobby was for Model A Fords. He devoted much of his time restoring them and also made products to help them run more efficiently. A family tradition his family looked forward to was driving in the 4th of July parade with his many Model A’s. He enjoyed sailing, trips to the ocean and loved being the cook at the big lobster bakes. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Linda T. (Hebert) Cummings, who died in 2018. In addition to his mother, family members include his daughter and son-in-law, Kristine and Ben Guthrie of Concord, NH; his son and daughter-in-law, E.
