Edward Joseph Starostovic Jr.

I met Ed at a wood producers’ meeting in Memphis, TN in 1996. As I got to know him, it was clear he was unique in the industry. He was respected by all for his honesty, integrity, fairness...and certainly his knowledge of wood, fasteners, testing and the many functions that go on behind the scenes to ensure products with a TECO or PFS mark perform as designed. His immersion, involvement and dedication to the industry is evident by the long list of awards he received and associations and other activities he participated in. The industry will miss you and so will the MANY people whose lives you affected. Ron Musolino
