I am another Lightolier "daughter". My father, Pierson Cohen, spoke
highly of Ed as a business colleague and a friend. I should like to
extend my sympathy to all the family.

I remember Ed as a warm, caring man with whom I had the pleasure of working for a safer and more just world. His efforts and support made a significant contribution to the Center for Defense Information and our shared goals. He made a difference and will be missed. I send my condolences to Nancy and the Blitzer family.

Ed was a special person and Uncle. Herb and I remember sitting in Haversham, RI with him and talking about a variety of topics. Intellectually curious until the end, I will remember Ed as a multi-faceted individual who enjoyed many different activities.
Herb and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the whole Blitzer family.
