Loved his humor. Ed's dry wit always made us laugh. He and Marie were perfect together and for 72 years....how special. He will be missed, especially at St. Luke's. Ed was such a part of our time at church. Condolences to Marie and the family, Michaele (aka Clapp) and Michael Palermo

Marsha and Family,
So sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. He lived a full and happy life. May he rest in peace. It will be a year next month my Dad passed and six months since my Mom passed. It's something you live with but never fully get over. May all the happy family times and memories get you through this difficult time.

Marie, I just want to let you know I am thinking of you at this time of your loss, I hope you remember who I am, I am the Stepdaughter of Beverly Nord. I know many of the events we went to together and when I saw your husband in the notice I just had to comment, I don't always know what to say but I just want to let you know I care about you and hope with the love of your children you will find things to fill in the empty gap. If I can do anything for you please let me know. Love, Kristina Mahon Willson
