Born in Worcester, MA, the son of the late Frank and Viola Lominsky, he had been a Fairfield resident for nearly fifty years. Following high school, Mr. Lominsky served in the United States Army. He received his BS in Mathematics from the College of the Holy Cross and Masters from the University of Bridgeport.
Edward was a retired Math teacher at Andrew Warde High School in Fairfield and also served as Director of Athletics at Warde. Longtime Warde teacher and tennis coach John Honey was actually responsible for recruiting Lominsky to the Melville Avenue campus nearly 50 years ago.
"John asked me to do him a favor," Lominsky once said. "He couldn't find anybody to take the JV (tennis) kids. I had just graduated a senior class from Stratford High. I started my teaching and coaching career at Andrew Warde in 1967." He retired from teaching full-time in 2000.
Lominsky remained at the high school following the consolidation of Warde and Ludlowe nearly 30 years ago. The transition from two high schools to one magnified the rivalry between both sides of town. Through it all, Lominsky remained partial to Warde and was still very much a Crimson Eagle.
"This side of town had confidence in that we knew how to do the job, and we did the job," he told me nearly a decade ago. "After consolidation, I had a parent on the phone from the other side of town every other day. This neighborhood had faith in us."
Survivors include two beloved children, Laurie Perren and her husband Richard of New Canaan and John Lominsky and his wife Kveta of Escondido, CA; a cherished granddaughter, Chloe Perren and a sister-in-law, Sally Loman of Bellevue, WA.
Private graveside services in Oak Lawn Cemetery will be conducted at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Lewy Body Dementia Association, 912 Killian Hill Road, S.W., Lilburn, GA 30047 (www.lbda.org).
