Edwin L. Reynolds, a native and former resident of Glen Cove, passed away on January 25, 2000 at the age of 86 at his home in Hubbard, Ohio. He is survived by his wife Anne and many nieces and nephews. Funeral serviceswere held in Hubbard, Ohio.

Edwin was born and raised in the Landing section of Glen Cove and was the youngest of five brothers: Joseph, Daniel , Howard, and John. He attended St. Patrick's School, was a past member of Chemical Company, Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department and, as a WWII Army veteran, was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action. The Silver Star is this Nation's third highest military honor.

During WWII, Edwin Reynolds was a member of the famous 77th Division (the Liberty Division), 307th Infantry Regiment, Second Batallion, joining that unit in March of 1942. He participated in the invasions of Saipan, Guam, Leyte, Kerama Rhetto, Ie Shima, and Okinawa. It was during the battle for control of the Japanese island of Ie Shima in April, 1945, that PfC. Edwin Reynolds' actions earned him the Silver Star. His citation reads, in part:

"...At dawn, with the Japanese suceeding in the overrunning of

our platoon positions, PfC. Edwin L. Reynolds, an ammunition bearer in Headquarters Co., 2nd Batallion, 307th Infantry Regiment, volunteered and received permission from his commanding officer to join our unit, which was then reorganizing to retake the position. Armed with a rifle and all the grenades he could carry, he joined in the attack. Private Reynolds was among those who led the advance and was one of the first to reach the top of the ridge. Again the enemy attempted to retake the position, but Private Reynolds, rising to his feet and exposing himself to mortar and small arms fire, threw grenade after grenade at the enemy, driving them back. His courage, initiative, and devotion to duty were a great inspiration to his comrades, and in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service."

Edwin L. Reynolds was awarded the Silver Star for his actions while serving with the occupational forces in Hakaido, Japan in November, 1945. He had previously turned down a battlefield promotion to Sergeant, preferring instead to fight alongside his buddies. He was with the 77th Division all the way to Japan, and was also awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received on Okinawa while carrying a wounded buddy back to safety. His other WWII awards include the American Service Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Service Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the Phillipines Liberation Ribbon with Bronze Star, and the World War II Victory Medal.
