To the Kaczmarowski family, Jim and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy. We are friends of Lynn Bell and can only say what a wonderful job Ed and Joan did when they raised their kids. She is one of the most wonderful, kind and loving people we know as sister Karen is as well. How proud you should be and although Ed was taken fairly early in life he has a wonderful family and friends. We all have wonderful memories. He is at peace, time will heal. Love will never die. All our love.

Dear Aunt Joanie, David, Tamara, Karen, Rick, Lynne, Vince, Tyler, Morgan and Zachary,

While I can't be there physically, always know that I am thinking of you during this sad time. I have so many memories of Uncle Eddie, it's almost unbearable to think that he's no longer here.
With love always,

Dear Joan, Karen, David, Lynn and family

My sincere condolence and prayers go without saying. I was surprised to have received the news of Ed's declining health and then to so suddenly hear of his death.
He recovered so well from his heart surgery of a few yers ago that it is difficult to think of him as being sick.
I know that we all die and no one knows the time or place but Ed's last weeks are troubling to hear of. If there is such a thing as Purgatory I think that he just went through it (and maybe you all too). I really feel for his struggle and for all the family had to go through those days. No one wants to have to make the kind of decisions that you were confronted with, yet because of your love and faithfulness you did whatever was necessary.
Ed (and you, Joan) were my main competiotion for hearing confessions and you were like us at the church, one of the main rallying points for the neighborhood. Like the church you looked after the people in the neighborhood, considering everyone a friend and enriching their lives with friendship. I won't mention names but I know of some and you know of even more people who Ed extended himself to in so many ways. People who weren't always easy to extend oneself to.
I often think that being a bartender is very much like being a priest; we serve and we listen.
Our faith tells us that Jesus' tomb was empty, that He was no longer there. For that reason we too must go on and live what He taught. Ed is with God, he's not in the coffin, so we go on trying to follow his good example until we are all together again with God in His place.
I will remember you all at mass this Wednesday.

Joan-I was so sorry to read of Eddie's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. You and Eddie were always so friendly and welcoming when I stopped into the bar. He will be missed!

Joanie and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Eddie (aka "sweet cheeks") was a wonderful husband, father grandfather and friend. I will never forget all the wonderful times we had at the bar and all the excursions we took. I will also never forget when I was kidding around with Eddie and told him that he needed to put the Hava Nagila song on the Juke box because everyone would dance to it. Eddie just laughed at me. One day I came in the bar, Eddie gave me money and told me to play the juke box and guess what song was in there, the Hava Nagila. I could go on and on but I won't because there were too many good times to list. I want you to know that I believe that Eddie has gone to Heaven and I bet that Joe was there to greet him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be there for you. Love ya, Heidi
