Edward was born on 22 April 1948 in Glen Cove, New York to Phyllis Klein & Adam Altglass. Edward and his sisters took the last name of their stepfather Roy Stuart Atchison.
Edward McAngus Atchison, 68, of Cheyenne passed away at his home outside of Cheyenne on 2 May 2016 with his faithful canine companion, Alex, by his side.
Ed was an Army officer during the Vietnam conflict. After leaving the military, he began his long career as a counselor, first for the State of Wyoming Job Service Center and then with the Veterans Administration. He was a counselor with the first VA Vietnam Veterans Outreach Center in Cheyenne and later became the Director of the Cheyenne and Fort Collins, Colo., Outreach Centers. Ed then moved to Las Vegas, Nev., to provide counseling for veterans at the largest homeless center in the country, which was a joint effort between the Veterans Administration, City of Las Vegas, county and State of Nevada.
Ed retired and returned to the state he loved where he continued to champion causes like the ARC, Problem Gamblers and others too numerous to mention. He could always be found avidly speaking out for and assisting those persons in our society that had no voice of their own.
Ed is preceded in death by his mother; father; and stepfather. He is survived by his sisters, Marcia, Sue, and their families.
