" Our deepest sympathy to Pauline and all your family. Eddie was one of the greatest guys I have ever known. Eddie was truly one of a kind. I consider myself blessed to have worked with Eddie for so many years. Debbie and I attended all the Credit Union dinners with Eddie and Pauline. The best table to have dinner was always where Eddie and Pauline were sitting. Eddie would entertain the table with stories, and there would be much laughter. But my favorite memories of Eddie are from "Days at the Track". Eddie would always say it was like taking a day off from the world. Over the years we must have attended " THE SPORT OF KINGS " at least 50 times. We would laugh all day, drink beer, and bet Eddie's picks. Win or lose, we would always have a great time. Many a time Eddie would tell me how beautiful Pauline was and how lucky he was that she married him. Eddie loved Pauline and his family. My guess is that right now Eddie is sitting in Aron Bylander's box seat at God's " Great Racetrack in the Sky " handicapping the next race! Eddie, the world will not be the same without you. Thank You for being my friend! May God bless you and give comfort to Pauline and your family. Love, Mike and Debbie Bozanich.

It was with a sad heart to learn of the passing of Ed Hughes. Having worked with Ed at the old PO, he was always in a jovial mood while we were all putting up our mail each morning to deliver. As the office union steward, it seemed to me that nothing phased Ed, as he ignored whatever issue's were developing and just did his job. He was one of the pillars at our office, and was highly respected. He leave's us with many good memories. To his family, please accept our sympathies from all of us who knew and worked with him during those times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
