Dear Seiden Family, we are so very sorry for the lost of your father. We moved into his La Mesa neighborhood 20 years ago and enjoyed seeing him with his family outside taking care of his beautiful home. Thinking of you all.

Ruth, Ray & Lory,

The world became a much better place the day Uncle Ed was born. I have fond memories of him as always ready with a big smile and wanting to know how I and my family were doing. I never heard him complain or speak poorly of anyone. He was always very proud of his family and did all he could to support you and make you happy. There are few people with the integrity that Ed had and he passed that on to you. I will miss him greatly but I will never forget him. He will always live in and through you.
With much love, Tina

My sincere condolences to Ed's family. I worked with Ed for many years on various advanced space projects at General Dynamics. He was a true gentleman, a valued colleague and friend and a knowledgeable and patient mentor in the Mass Properties field. I'm particularly grateful that he personally and persistently encouraged me to write, submit and present what became an award-winning mass properties technical paper. Looking back, he stands out as one of my most-admired coworkers, and will not be forgotten.

Lory, I remember your dad fondly. Many years ago, when we worked at Home Federal, I always looked forward to conversations with your dad. He was a very special man. My love and prayers to you, as well as your mom, Ray, and the rest of your family.
