Vincent Eby, asbestos crusader
Vincent Vernon Eby crusaded for union-sponsored asbestos testing for local construction workers after watching his co-workers suffer from the form of lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers.
The Price Hill resident died Monday from the same disease he pushed into the public's consciousness in Cincinnati in the 1970s. He was 72.
"He raised awareness about the disease before many people knew asbestos was a killer," said one of his daughters, Donna Eby, of Anderson Township. "He was a real leader and saved lives."
Mr. Eby was the first man in Cincinnati to take the diagnostic test for respiratory complications that are occupational hazards for asbestos workers. He also helped many union members and their families get money for their asbestos-related diseases.
"He always was a friend to the working man," Ms. Eby said. "He dedicated himself to working people because he was one himself."
Mr. Eby also helped establish a pension and health and welfare plan for the members of Local 8, one of the first unions for construction workers, in the 1960s.
He was a lifelong resident of Price Hill and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
Survivors also include his wife of 51 years, Betty; a son, Gary Eby of Clifton; four daughters, Connie Roesch of Western Hills, Bev Eby of Delhi, Mary Beth Welch of Delhi and Donna Eby of Anderson; a brother, Jim Eby of Price Hill; and 8 grandchildren.
