To Mary
We will miss seeing Ed across the yard. He was such a great neighbor and friend. Just to converse with him and hear all his stories was such an experience,I will never forget.
Please remember we are all here for you to help in any way we can.

Mary,
What a beautiful celebration of Ed's life. Father John's words were right on target. The ceremony at Calverton was perfect. All the family and friends that attended were outstanding. And Mary, you are a rock. We will continue to pray for you as well as Ed. And as Ed requested, we will all be there for you. With all our LOVE, Amanda, Molly and Robert Fett

I'm very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a pleasure to work with at the county hospital, extemely efficient and competent. I was an Assistant Director at the facilty at the time and will keep him in my prayers.

November 6, 2007

It is with profound saddness that I write these words of condolence to you. My hero and mentor, Uncle Ed always had my deepest respect. He was the personification of dedication to service to others. By his example, more than any other person, he inspired me to choose the profession of arms and serve my country in the US Army. I sought his counsel often during my career and always embraced his advice. The world is a lesser place today, I will miss him so.
