COOPERSTOWN—Edward Gozigian, of Cooperstown, New York, passed away Monday, December 9, 2024 with his beloved wife by his side. He was born in Syracuse, New York on November 9, 1931, the son of Katchperooni and Shooshanig Gozigian.

Edward attended Syracuse University undergraduate school, where he was a letterman on the diving team. After graduating in 1954, he joined the United States Army and, as luck would have it, he was stationed at Schofield Barracks in Honolulu, Hawaii. He enjoyed the array of diving board options on the barracks and weekend passes body surfing at Waikiki.

After being honorably discharged, he returned to Syracuse and attended Syracuse University School of Law. Upon graduating in 1959, he found his first true love: Cooperstown, New York. Shortly thereafter, he was sanguine to meet the love of his life, Diana Gozigian (nee Griffith). Married for 60 years, they had three children, Gwen Gozigian (David), Glynis Gozigian (John) and Garo Gozigian (Kathleen).
