"Ed Garvey never gave up.
The nationally known labor attorney battled pro football owners, ran for public office and carried on a tradition as a proud Wisconsin progressive. There were losses along the way, but like his political idol "Fighting Bob" La Follette Sr., Garvey kept moving forward.
"Ed was a guy who really believed in certain principles," said Garvey's former law partner Glenn Stoddard. "I think his philosophy wasn't about the short term. It was about the longer term. Sometimes you lose but you come back."
Garvey died early Wednesday at a Verona nursing home where he had been living for the last two weeks. He was 76. He had been battling Parkinson's disease, which led to his retirement in 2013."
