Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire Fay family. We were glad to spend time with Ed in April at the dedication of Chris' plaque at USNA. He was a great man and will be sorely missed.

Papa Fay was the most wonderful man. When we would run into him at Giant, which seemed to be often, he would ask us if we were going to get his celery seed for his hotdogs. The last time we saw him at Giant, he was so excited about his soon to be new son-inlaw. We can only imagine his joy to see his first great grandson. He always gave us big hugs and put a smile on our faces. It is his turn to put a smile on Gods face now. He will be deeply missed by so many. Our prayers go out to the entire family.

Love,
