You will be missed, my friend. Not many had the patience you did with tangled fishing lines and 3 kids 20 feet apart from each other. Some of my fondest memories with my sons involved you at the ponds in Vera Cruz. God rewards eternally the good hearted, such as you. Our condolences to the Andreas family. The Costello family

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

Dear Andreas Family,
As a friend and neighbor of Ed's we would like to say how sorry we are to hear of his passing. There was many a night Ed would be walking up the alley on his way home from the Bocce, and we would invite him in and he wouldn't leave for hours.
Also any time we needed him to help with Cub Scouts and fishing lessons even if it meant driing up to Camp Trexlar for the day. God bless you and your family.

Dear Andreas family, My name is Thomas Legath and Ed and I were good friends from the ages of 15 to 20. We were Explorer Scouts and were able to spent a week in Canada and made several trips to the Worlds Fair in New York. We graduated from Dieruff to gether and our mothers were so proud. We parted as friends and both went to Vietnam, I am now being treated for the third time for cancer so my family and I know what you have endured. I live in Lancaster PA, I just wanted to share that I was proud to have Ed as a friend. God Bless, Tom Legath

My deepest sympathy and Christian love to Dory and the entire family at this time of loss and grief. Ed joined Grace while I served as Pastor, and he added much value to the church over the years. I caught up with him at last year's PNEC Annual Meeting, and was impressed by all he had done. He will be missed. May the peace of the Risen Christ offer you comfort and hope in the days ahead.
