I was saddened to hear of Ed's passing. Ed was a gentle and unassuming person who loved his family dearly. He will be greatly missed. I remember his last visit to Port Jefferson and the stories he told of his happy memories growing up with Henry.
May our love and prayers surround you all.

The Arrowpoint community will miss Ed. He always took great interest in our mountain vacation retreat, enjoying his cabin and walking the trails with his dog. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Robin and the family.

I am deeply saddened by our loss of Edward. I was unaware of his illness so the news took me completely by surprise. As I conveyed to James, I didn't see much of Ed, except at the occasional, large family gatherings we used to have, but the memories I do have are particularly salient and go back a very long time - because of Auntie Nevart. She and my father, Stepan, had a special, fun-loving relationship and she was a bright fixture of my childhood. To this day, I hear her tell-tale laugh which came forth a lot when she was with her nephews, Stepan, Jacques and Henry. In those days, I heard so much about Ed and Clinton and their respective families, about whom she was so proud - each and every one. And it was easy to appreciate why.
In the years since, I always enjoyed talking to Ed at family gatherings. I liked the gentle air about him, the unassuming nature. He was so modest about his considerable accomplishments. He seemed so "good in his skin;" he was leading the life he had set out to have, which he created so beautifully.
Not many people can say that. To me, that is the very definition of success. I wish he had more years to enjoy this life of his and the bountiful life he gave to their wonderful family. Bless him, Robin and all the Najarians.
I am there in thought with all of you and send my sympathy and affection. I know Suzie, David and Aline join me in expressing our sorrow and love.
