Edward "Ted" Clyde Powell

Angels came for our brother Edward C. “Ted” Powell, 71, Binghamton, on June 27, 2026.  A graduate of Gettysburg College, Ted was a Civil War buff ever since he was a little boy playing with Plastic blue and gray soldiers on the living room rug.  He was an avid reader, his apartment filled with books that were arranged by subject.  A Yankees fan, if a doctor asked him at the end of an appointment if he had any questions, Ted would say with a twinkle in his eye, “Who’s going to win the World Series?” 

Ted was predeceased by his parents, Richard and Helen Powell, also long term companion Kathy Ekstrand.  He is survived by his siblings Nancy (Paul) Guido; Larry (Nancy) Powell and Martha (Brad) Bennett.  Also nieces Deana Guido; Theresa (Greg and son Nathan) Asfoury; Maria (Jason and daughter Whitney) Jones.  Services will be private, with burial in Floral Park Cemetery.

  With thanks to Hopler Eschbach Funeral Home.
