Eddie was good-natured to the point that he inspired anyone that came near him to seek the same combination of happiness and kindness. I had the good fortune to attend grade school and junior high with Eddie. Over the years as we bumped into each other; during high school and then college. Then again years later in Louisville when we ran into each other at U of L and discovered that not only had we both moved to Louisville, but that the same barber had been cutting our hair. I am saddened to have learned today, in that same chance way – through a new acquaintance of mine that had worked with Eddie - that Eddie was gone and that the serendipity that had let us bump into each other over the years would not happen again. My sympathies go out to his family.

Dear Jackie and Ed,
My heart goes out to you on the death of your dear son. As you may know, I lost my son to kidney disease 5 years ago and he would have been 43 1/2 now, so I can certainly relate to your great loss. Your son must have been a fine young man. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that others are thinking of you in your time of sorrow.
Love,
Cookie Leet, LHS Class of '59

My deepest sympathies to Ed's family on your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
It was a priviledge to get to know Ed. He was always a very special, enthusiatic, positive and fun spirit. I always looked forward to seeing him.
Ed's passion was his friends and family; he always mentioned you. Ed has deeply touched many lives including mine. I miss that wonderful smile, cheerful personality, great big hug and my friend.

Ed,
My buddy, I will miss you. I will miss how you answered the phone when you knew it was me calling; all of our conversations about nothing and everything; and sharing a beer or two with you whenever we got together. I always looked forward to seeing you on our business trips.
I have so many great memories of you. You're excitement about life always inspired me and it will continue to do so. You will always be in my heart.

Dear Ed, Jackie, and Denise
Comforting words are hard to find as I come to you with such a heavy heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I told Denise that I have relived a wonderful part of my childhood this past week. I remember the time spent at your home and the way Eddie made me laugh. I still see his smile and rosy cheeks.
Take comfort from the wonderful friends and family that will be here for you during this time of sorrow. I am hugging you from a distance.
All my love,
Dana

Ed's Family and Friends:
How difficult it is to accept the loss of such a great guy as Ed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ed will be dearly missed.
Let me share it was a privilege to work with someone with the passion and commitment that Ed had for his work and his co-workers. Ed represented the company in a way that would make you proud. And he made our company a better place to work. The smile on his face and his fun laugh helped bring out the best of others. He was sincere.
While we often count the time we know someone in years, I believe everyone who knew Ed will measure the special moments as a lifetime of smiles.

Ms. Buban, it was my good fortune to have known Eddie. Ed and I meet about 3 years ago through Chevron. We worked together very closely and went on quit a few business trips together. Eddie was always such a positive person, even when things where all going "down hill" Ed seemed to turn the situation completely around. Just knowing that Ed was coming to Charleston to see me or I was going to meet hime in Houston or San Ramon would make me excited. We spent many hours on the phone talking about work, life and problems associated with both.
He was a great frind and we had keep in contact since my job transfer to P&M Coal Mining Company and had planned on seeing each other again after life settled down a little.
This is a great personnal loss. Ed's personality and demeaner where allways GREAT. Ed always made me fell great when ever I saw him or talked to him. He has really affected my life and I will never forget him. I am a better person for having known him.
Little did I know that the last time I saw Eddie in Houston and he visited my sister and brother in law with me to share a meal, that would be our last trip together. During that trip Eddie gave me a hug and told me he loved me, and told him that "I love you too man". I am very glad those words where spoken. So often we don't get to tell someone what they really mean to us until it is too late.
Now all I can do is keep Ed in my heart and continue to nuture that little seed he planted in me. I can only hope to one day become half as much the wonderful positive man he was.
My Friend will be terribly missed by me, and my heart and prayers go out to you and the rest of Ed's family.

I just started working with Ed in March. He made me feel welcomed on the team and always offered encouragement. I quickly learned that the best place to sit in a meeting was next to Ed. With his quick wit and great laugh he made even the most boring meeting fun.

We are so very saddened by the sudden, unexpected loss of Eddie. In times like this it is so difficult to know what to say. Nothing we can say can change the fact that someone you love so dear has left this earth. All that we can say is that we are so sorry and we send our love and our thoughts and prayers. Eddie was a nice, fun-loving person who will be missed by everyone who knew him. If there is anything at all we can do please don't hesitate to ask.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ed's family and his long list of friends. Ed was a good friend to many people because he was truly interested in them. When I think of Ed, the first thing to come to mind is that hardy laugh of his. It always brought a smile to my face and for that and many other reasons, I will miss him. God Bless...

I would like the family and other friends to know they are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Anytime I saw Ed he would be smiling and laughing. He would have boat stories to tell or would talk about his girls. He really enjoyed life. He will be missed.

Dear Ms. Buban,
I am so very sorry to hear of Eddie’s untimely passing. I know this is an extraordinarily difficult time for you and your family, as well as the friends and adopted families who viewed Eddy as one of their own.
My family has known Eddie since we moved to Lexington in 1974, I was 16 at the time. As a teenager, I knew Eddy as a fun loving, happy and always friendly person who brought laughter to all those he touched, especially my family. We considered Eddie an extension of the “Qualls” family and our hearts are broken. Losing Eddie is like losing a younger brother.
I personally have many great memories of Eddie, and I am deeply saddened that I will never again see his infinitely smiling face or hear his infectious laugh. I did not have the pleasure of spending much time with Eddy the last several years, our lives took very different paths…I did keep in touch with his progress in life through my brother Wayne, and the few times we did get together over the years, Eddie and I would spend time laughing about the old days and memories of our youth.
When my father passed away last year, Eddie brought his gregarious personality into my parent’s home, giving us a reason to smile on such a sad occasion. Eddie brought tremendous love and support at a time when we all needed some relief…I will never forget hearing of his success in business and of his love for his two beautiful daughters, he was a proud father.
There is nothing I can say that will make you feel better about the loss of Eddie. You have reason to know that Eddie was respected by many and loved by all with whom he came in contact. I know Eddie will live on in our hearts and minds, and you should know that he had a great impact on many lives, including mine, and those of us who were fortunate enough to know him will forever hold his memory in our hearts. The world is a better place having known Eddie Buban.
Please accept my deepest, heartfelt sympathies to you and your family.

Although I haven't seen Eddie since High School, I can still remember running around with him and Wayne. I remember taking his Dads car out when his parents went away, and his smile. Eddie was always a really good friend and would do anything for you. My condolences go out to Denise and his parents and family.
