Talanian Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Ed's death. He was one of my favorite people at TK&A and was such a joy to work with. Because our birthdays were days apart we always shared our birthday lunch! He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My thoughts are with Ed's family. He was a great friend, mentor and golf buddy. I enjoyed my time with him when I was at TK&A.

The Talanian Family,

Sorry for your loss. Ed was loved by everyone and especially me. He was a mentor, a peer, a friend, a father figure, and more. He got me my first job, he taught me to play golf, he was there when I met Marian, and so much much more. Words cannot describe how much he was a part of my life. I will miss him, but I know this is were he wants to be back with Nat.

God bless.
Matt, Marian, and Amalia
