Ted Coghlin: 1935-2014
Ted Coghlin
As we age, many of us wonder what kind of legacy we'll leave, what kind of difference we will have made in the world or in our communities. The hundreds who stood in line at the wake of Edwin B. “Ted” Coghlin, many for four or more hours, and the overflowing crowd at his funeral are a testament to the power of his legacy in Central Massachusetts.
Not only did he shepherd a business that has long been synonymous with Worcester's past and present, he made his mark on the future through his vision for vocational technical education.
The now nine-year-old Worcester Technical High School on Skyline Drive — and its national acclaim as a beacon of educational success — is a shining symbol of a vision realized. While his presence will be missed, his legacy may well be visible for as long as or longer than the 79 years that marked his lifetime.
