Remembering our Friend and Colleague, Ed Cellucci

It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of long time friend and colleague, Ed Cellucci.  Ed passed away, December 27, 2017 in a traffic accident in Riverside, California. 

Ed’s “can-do” attitude and positive outlook on life will be sorely missed. He joined the company in 1998 as regional manager, and rose to the position of national sales manager. He played a key role in the opening of our California branch, and was instrumental in the development of new products and entry into new markets. On the personal side, his interests included martial arts, dogs, scuba diving, sports, and fitness. He was also an accomplished jazz drummer and policeman for the LA County Sheriff’s Department. He also volunteered for a number of organizations – Ed was truly an extraordinary person.

Ed is survived by his wife Elaine, sons Talon Ferguson, Jordan Ferguson, and daughter Morgan James.   This loss is shared by the community, our company, his many friends in the industry, and we know that you share in this grief. We’ve posted some of the comments and memories of our distributors and customers, along with select photos below.

Sincerely,

Judith, Tim , Dana & Scott DeLorenzo & the Plast-O-Matic Family
