He retired in 1992, and moved to North Carolina, where he continued consulting and publishing as Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering, UNC Charlotte. The couple moved to the Wildewood Downs Retirement Community in Columbia, SC in 2005.

A devoted husband and father, Ed was a faithful and active member of churches throughout his adult life, and served on the Vestry of several where he and Rosemary were members. He served on the Town Planning Board of Somers, New York for many years, and coached little league baseball.

He was predeceased by his sister, Patricia Wilbur.

Born in Hightstown, New Jersey, she was a daughter of the late Charles and Caroline Matilda Burtis.
She spent a majority of her lifetime in Allentown, New Jersey raising her family of five children on Main Street.  She loved family gatherings, many of which were at her cozy Allentown home where families from both sides were greeted with a big smile and open arms.  There was always action at the Giehl House including teenagers, their cars and their music.  Carolyn loved to cook and if you visited the Giehl House regularly for meals you probably remember washing or drying dishes right along with the kids.

She and Ben traveled extensively during their retirement years prior to moving to the Central area.   Carolyn had a passion for gardening, and loved watching her grand and great-grandchildrens growth and accomplishments.
She was predeceased by her husband of 72 years, Bernhard Frederick Giehl; son, Wayne (Kathleen) Giehl of Hightstown, NJ; brother, Robert Burtis; and sisters, Marjorie Sprague, Jenny OHagan, Emily OHagan, Laura Schwager and Shirley Pittman.
Surviving are sons, Robert Giehl of Plymouth, NH, Glenn (Mary) Giehl of Jackson, NJ and Richard Giehl of Plymouth NH; daughter, Deborah (Ron) Cadorette of Central; 9 grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren.  She is also survived by a sister, Jacqueline Peppler of Columbus, NJ.
A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held 11 am, , 24, 2016 in the Garden at Lawrence Chapel UMC, Central, SC to celebrate Carolyns life.  A formal service for family and friends is scheduled in Allentown, New Jersey for early summer 2017.
