Joe and Mary Ann McDonald

I still miss Ed and always will. He was a great friend, smart, and compassionate, and only grew wiser as our years went by. My biggest regret that we did not share as many experiences as could have when we had the chance. He did leave a great legacy, however, his family.

I met Ed through his roommate, Joe McDonald, who ended up to be my husband. Ed was our bestman at the wedding and one of my favorite photos from that happy occasion was my dog, Bo (the ring doggy) and my nephew (who brought the dog down the aisle, so to speak) each sitting on one of Ed's shoes. It was priceless. Through the years, Ed and Joe kept in touch even if they didn't see each other in person. When Ed got sick, we tried to call more often just to let him know that we were there for him. And just so you know, since his passing, no matter where we traveled to, we carried with us one of the wooden crosses that Ed made and gave out to others. It gave us peace and we knew that he was watching over us. This past year, my Joe had some major health issues and we constantly say that "he wished he could talk to Ed". We miss him very much. Please know that our love, thoughts and prayers are still with the family.

Dear JoAnn, Aaron and family. Joe will say something tomorrow at the mass written from his heart and through many tears. I just wanted you to know how much Ed meant to both of us. Over the past year, he would call, or we would call him, and we would talk about the ups and downs, the good days and the bad. One evening he called when I think you, Jody, wasn't home just to vent and to say about his fears and his frustations but not for him, for you and the family. He never got angry at what happened to him but stayed upbeat, as much as possible, through the treatments. I think he stayed so positive not for him but for the rest of us to be able to deal with what was happening to him. His faith, and love for all of you, kept him going. I will miss him very much for his friendship, his laughs, his care and love for Joe and for everything that he did for us through the years. Your marriage was our example of how a good marriage could last forever and for that, I thank you. Even though Ed may not be with us in body, he will always be with us in spirit and Joe and I will always be there for all of you. We love you and we loved Ed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ed was my boss and my friend. He always tried to help anyone when they were having a rough time and offered support. I respected him and never worked with anyone who was so kind and generous.
I will miss him. He left too soon.
