Eduardo L. Lopez, 85
LEWES - Eduardo L. Lopez of Lewes died, after a long bout with Parkinson"s disease, Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2006, in Harbor Health Care, Lewes. He was 85.
Mr. Lopez was born May 31, 1921, in Oriente, Cuba.
After his mother, Suzanna, died when he was five, his father, Manuel, returned to Galicia, Spain, where they lived until he was 15.
Mr. Lopez became a merchant seaman and traveled the world extensively for many years.
In 1949, he came to the U.S. and met Manuel Sanchez, who recruited merchant seamen to serve on ships out of Baltimore. It was there that he met Manuel"s daughter, who became his wife.
Mr. Lopez continued to work as a merchant seaman until the birth of his son. He then went to work for the railroad, where he stayed until his retirement in 1986.
While traveling the world as a merchant seaman, he became fascinated with history, a fascination that continued after he left the seas. He read extensively, educating himself on the history of the world and its events. It remained his passion in life until shortly before his death.
Mr. Lopez was active in the Masonic Order while in Baltimore, where he was the past master of Warren Lodge 51, a member of the Scottish Rite of Maryland and a member of the Masonic Veterans Association.
He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Dolores Lopez; a son and a daughter-in-law, Edward and Janet Lopez of Jessup, Md.; a grandson, Edward Lopez III of Jessup; and his goddaughter, Kimberly Noland, and her husband, Jay, and their daughters, all of York, Pa.
Memorial services will be 11 a.m. Jan. 6 in the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, 7 Bay Vista Road, Rehoboth Beach.
Burial will be private.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, 7 Bay Vista Road, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971; or the Parkinson"s Disease Foundation, 1359 Broadway, Suite 1509, New York, NY 10018; or to Delaware Hospice, 20167 Office Circle, Georgetown, DE 19947.
