This was not an announcement I expected (or wanted) to see. My condolences to the O'Toole clan. It doesn't seem that long ago when we were out on the courts, fields, schoolyards, and streets honing our skills for sports - and life. Ed, along with brothers Pat & Jimmy, were stand-up guys that everyone got along with. Seeing Ed's picture brought on feelings of nostalgia of the old neighborhood with the O'Toole, Woods, Lynch, Harn, Sameski, Connelly, Speed, Kinearny, Tracey, English, and Lannigan families. I am sad with Ed's passing, but I know he led a good life and left some wonderful memories for family and friends.

To the O'Toole family,
Please accept my condolences and prayers for the loss of your brother Eddie.
I remember him and your family when my family lived in the neighborhood.
He is with your mom and dad.
Rest in peace Eddie.
