Auntie Lena, Kathy,Debbie, Eileen, Cheri, and everyone who knew and Loved Eddie. To Mom and I he will always be Eddie. My neighbor and childhood chum who didn't mind a tag along and someone who could climb a tree almost as good as he could. I remember him walking down the road with traps or camping gear off to another adventure in the woods. A fellow veteran and one of my heroes. My condolences to your children and family Eddie, say hi to Mom and Dad for me and save me a spot at the fishing hole.

Wiwigac Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Ed's passing. I always remember him as a young man with a strong stature and gorgeous blonde hair. As friends, he and my brother, Pat joined the Army together in hopes that they would be in the same squadrant after boot camp. Although this did not happen, they kept in touch and remained friends. Rest in peace, Ed.

I am so sorry to hear about Ed's passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to his entire family, whom he always spoke highly of. I will never forget the fishing ventures we went on and good times that we shared. And, all of the help and support he gave me in raising money for the Cancer Society. May God bless his family and friends with strength and comfort at this difficult time.

It was a blessed experience just knowing Ed. From fishing, love of music, friends, his cats, his job, his Veteran Buddies, his family everything he did he did with his whole heart and dug deep into yours. There is no other like him. His ways of showing up and sharing little treasures to brighten your day, yes he will be deeply missed and now he is with his most precious partners, Debbie and God. My deepest prayers are with his family and you all most know how much he cared and loved you, we will surely miss him, but knowing Ed, he is just over your shoulder...."His spirit now has wings." I will never forget him, nor the people he touched at Deer Lake and at work. Our only consolation is he is right where he wants to be...
