May his memory be for a Blessing. You have a Good Angel who will watch over you and your family. He was most fortunate to have such a special wife.

My sympathies to the extended Goldberger Family. I worked with Ed at D'Ancona during my formative years, through the time I was a partner. He provided me the opportunity to work on sophisticated matters, trained me and then trusted me to serve our clients. I always appreciated his willingness to mentor me and provide me opportunities that women in the profession didn't always have. His wit and humor were always amusing - and I was fortunate to have the chance to work so closely with Ed and see the best of him.

Peace
