My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of grief. I remember him one year when he played Santa Claus for our children at my sisters house for Christmas. He brought so much joy in everyone lives and will greatly be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I worked with Ed for many years and I will truly miss him. Yes, he did love his chocolate and would always stop by my desk and "raid" my candy jar. He would say "this has definitley been a two pieces of candy day" and would give me a big smile like a kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I will miss that.

Wow, I deeply regret that I never had a chance to me Ed. Reading through the remembrances written in this guest book it was so evident that he was a tremendous man who really impacted everyone who came into his life. I hope your family will find comfort in the memory of his life.

Chris & Jason
My heart goes out to the both of you. Ed was very special to all of us and we have missed him every day. Ed was someone we could talk to when we needed help, with anything. He had his own special way of making us laugh, and we loved to hear HIM laugh. Losing Ed has left a very large hole that no one else can truly fill. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and I will never forget Ed Andrada. He was the BEST!

I never met Ed in person, but had a wonderful working relationship by phone and e-mail with him since 1997. We always helped each other in whichever way possible! I can't believe God took him away from us! Although he might be happier in God's company. Ed will be greatly missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Chris and Josh-
We're going to miss our Ed-he was someone who was a 'go to' person not only for help at work but to bounce ideas off of. We just received a condolence letter from CAG-02 and they're deployed!! Not only was he wonderful co-worker but a good person,as well. I hope you know how much he was loved.

I miss him. Always early to work then later to the gym. I would keep a little chocolate for him, he loved chocolate but he would say a little more time at the gym. He would make me smile as he would walk to the coffee area. Will miss my supervisor. My prayers to the family.
