I worked with Ed from 1978 - 1988 at Ethox. As a young man straight out of undergraduate school, Ed was always nice to me, and always had the time to help or answer a question. I remember Ed fondly as a visionary and decent man, with a wit and aire about him that made him a pleasure to be around. May God rest his soul, and may the thoughts of his great and long life be a comfort to his family.

I have never met someone that I find so much respect for.I admire his military service,his life accomplishments and how his war injury never stopped him or even slowed him down. My memories of Uncle Ed will stay with me forever. Thanks for all of the great times. I love you may you rest in peace. You are a true hero.

My sincerest sympathy to the family. I remember Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Ed being so good to all the family members. I enjoyed sharing a few dinners with them as well.

I give my best to all the family.

To a kind and generous man, we will all miss you. You had a profound affect on us all. We will always remember all the good times we had with you and Aunt Dorothy. We always looked forward to see you, especially around the holidays and during all those beautiful summers. You were a very gifted and talented man. The art and collectibles you designed and created will always remind us of you. We will dearly miss you and think of you every day.
