Edward Piluso Obituary

Piluso, Edward Scott CLIFTON PARK Edward Scott Piluso, 44, passed away Monday, August 18, 2008 at the Hospice Inn at St. Peter's Hospital after a courageous battle with prostate cancer. Born in Leonardstown, Md., he was the beloved son of Edward M. and Nancy Seggi Piluso of Rexford. Ed graduated from Mechanic-ville High School and later from SUNY Pottsdam in 1986 where he served as treasurer of his fraternity, Phi Kappa Sigma. A born entrepreneur, Ed's dream of becoming a successful businessman was achieved during his short period of time with us. He founded and was president of Piluso Inc., a successful promotional products company. Ed also loved to play golf and shared his love of the N.Y. Yankees with his family. He was the devoted husband of Vicki Chamberlin Piluso and the beloved father of Edward and Makayla Piluso. He was the loving brother of Jill Carelli and her husband Dominic, as well as Tracy Ashley and her husband David, all of Clifton Park. He is also survived by his niece, Katherine; and his nephews, Dominic and Christian. A funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated for Ed Friday at 9 a.m. at St. Edward the Confessor Church, Clifton Park. Relatives and friends may call at the funeral home Thursday from 6-8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made the Prostate Cancer Foundation in care of the Philip J. Brendese Funeral Home, 133 Broad St., Waterford, NY 12188.

To the Piluso family:
I saw notice today of Ed's passing. I went to college with Ed and have fond memories of him as a friend and as a Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity Brother. I'm very sorry for your loss. As I look back, I'm thankful for the time we were able to spend together. I hope your family is doing well.

I am very sad to hear of Ed's passing. My heart goes out to Vicki, Makayla, Eddie and family; I am very sorry for your loss. I knew Ed from college and we are fraternity brothers. Ed was the steadiest of the lot and highly respected so he was the perfect person to be our treasurer. He became the symbol of the position he held for many semesters. I am sorry to have lost contact with Ed but I know the brothers at Phi Kap all feel blessed to have known him as a great friend. My prayers are with you.

Ed was a good friend and fraternity brother of mine. Once I graduated college, it was nice to get together with Ed in Danbury CT. We were able to take the subway to NY city a couple of times and it was nice to spend some time with him there. I just found out of his untimely passing and my family's prayers are with his family. He will be missed. God Bless you.

Ed and I went to school together in Potsdam and we were in the same fraternity. I'm sorry to say we lost touch in the early 90s, and I only today learned of his passing. My condolences on your loss. Ed was a good man, and a good friend. He will be missed.
