Edward A. Heintz, 89, died Aug. 10 in Buffalo, New York.

“Ed was an outstanding industrial scientist in the area of carbon and graphite materials, earning many awards and publishing almost 100 papers and five patents. Ed was also my first mentor in science and analytical chemistry, as he was for many people with whom he worked in his industrial and then ­academic career. He was a very meticulous and careful scientist, which was not often encouraged in the somewhat fast pace of industry. Ed also placed importance on professional responsibility and organizations, as evidenced by his 68 years in the American Chemical Society.”—Joseph L. Glajch, friend and colleague

Education: BA, chemistry, 1953, University at Buffalo; PhD, analytical chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1957
