Edward Kosinski Obituary

Edward "Ed" Kosinski, 75, of Goose Creek, SC, beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away at home on December 31, 2025.

Born December 31,1950 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Ed was the loyal son of the late Edmund and Josephine Kosinski. His brother Paul Kosinski predeceased him in 1998.

Ed grew up in a Polish household filled with tradition and pride. As they were close in age, he and his brother Paul shared a close bond in childhood and beyond. Ed was a graduate of Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School. Gifted with a technical mind and an aptitude for math, he later graduated with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Roger Williams University. Following graduation, he began a lengthy and successful career as a civilian contractor for the United States Department of Defense. The majority of his 32-year career was spent working for General Electric and its successor companies in the naval defense industry. His work allowed him to travel the globe and forge strong friendships with his colleagues and fellow travelers. He lived in several areas across the United States, including New England, the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast, as well as Scotland and England. In 2005, he retired from General Dynamics and settled in Goose Creek, eager to spend his retirement in the warm South Carolina sun.

Ed enjoyed rooting for his favorite Boston sports teams, watching old movies, golfing, and spending time with his close friends and neighbors – especially, Robert and Leslie Stevens, John and Patricia Harper, Richard and Terry Rushin and their families. He was an enthusiastic landscaper and took great pride in tending his pool and yard. He also took pleasure in trips to his hometown to visit family and friends, share old stories about his father's butcher shop (Kosinski's Market), and enjoy his favorite traditional Polish foods.

Ed is survived by his sister-in-law Linda Kosinski (Pittsfield, Mass.), niece Stacie Kosinski and her husband Chad Mazza (Arlington, Mass.), nephew Matthew Kosinski and his wife Amanda Kosinski (Melrose, Mass.), great nephews Paul Kosinski and Samuel Mazza and great niece Abigail Kosinski, as well as countless friends, neighbors and relatives in Massachusetts and South Carolina.

Ed's family wishes to extend their heartfelt appreciation to all who assisted in enabling Ed to live his life just as he wanted - at home, at peace, and surrounded by love.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent in Ed's name to Berkeley Senior Center, 103 Gulledge Street, Moncks Corner, SC 29461. https://berkeleyseniors.org/
