It is with profound sadness that Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) today announced that Edward J. Faneuil, the Partnership’s Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, died suddenly on May 17, 2021. He was 68.

“Eddie was a treasured colleague, friend and member of the Global family for three decades, and we are deeply saddened by his unexpected passing,” said Richard Slifka, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner, Global GP LLC. “His knowledge, experience and leadership were integral in guiding and growing our business and our team.”

Eric Slifka, President and CEO of Global Partners, said, “Yesterday we lost a legend. Eddie was tough in business but had a compassionate way of turning strangers into friends and family. He was an exceptionally talented attorney who mentored many young lawyers and gave generously of his time. Through his energy and dedication, Eddie helped to build the foundation for Global’s success—we are fortunate to have worked with him. We extend our deepest sympathies and support to Eddie’s wife and family and all those who loved him like family.”
