Dear Marty and family, I was so sad to hear the news of your husband's passing. I have only met you a couple of times (at Archie's parties) but you were all so warm and friendly. I got to spend a few minutes talking with Ed and he was so nice and such a cheerful guy. My heart goes out to you and your family. Kathy Burd (Archie's next door neighbor)

Marty, Rockey and family: I cannot believe that it was just over a month ago when we all had such a great time at my dad's Fall Fest, AKA Ocktober Fest. It was always a high point when I came to visit him knowing that I too would see all of you and Ed.

Ed, I was blessed to have you as a dear neighbor since I was a little girl. I remember the fun family camping trips, the weekend water ski trips, and watching you mow your beautiful lawn. You will be truly missed by all of those you have touched with your kindness, generosity, and warm smile.

My memories of Ed was that he was a fun loving guy. It was great to be his friend. When I was layoff from Metlife. He was the manager of the Claims department, he called me and rehired me to come back.
My condolences to his wife and family. Judy Jasso
