I didn't remember about the date. I shared grandchildren with Edward. i was treated very nice by him. Now his son is my rock- although we lost Judy going on 3 years in Oct; They raised a good man that I know he will help me in any way he can! neither one of them were old when they passed, so death is not always predictable based on age!
my deepest sincerly sympathy to the Entire family!

I worked with Ed and always thought he was one of the nicest guys. It was a pleasure to share my early years at Hughes with a person who knew how to be kind and could make you laugh with his quick wit and stories. Although gone too soon, may he find peace and walk with people he knew that have gone before him and continue to share his life stories with them. My prayers to his family and friends. Peace out Ed - Dawn Avelenda (Crews)

To Ed- i know that we spent many years celebrating holidays. I enjoyed our many conversations. I believe that you made a big difference in my daughters life (malissa)- i also know that we shared 2 grandchildren who will miss you very much. I appreciated your gifts of homemade bread and Limoncello. Love; your son Ed's mother-in-law; Patty Holmes-Ko

Ed was one of those people that was a joy to know and a privilege to work with - epitomizing what it meant to be a 'good guy'. He left us way too soon, but he also left us grateful that we had the opportunity to know him while he was here.

I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would be so soon. Ed and I had a special relationship in that he was like a father to me at a time when I needed one, but didn't have one. I am forever grateful for that. Hey Ed, you should look up my dad. You two would get along great.

I knew Ed and Judi back in high school days. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Hold on to all of the precious memories.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Ed always had a bright and warm smile when you talked to him. He will be greatly missed.
