Edward was a wonderful brother-in law that I called whenever I had a problem after I lost his brother, my husband Mike. He will be greatly missed.

Ed and I go back to five years before we both entered the BFD in the fall of 1965 having both worked for Swift and Co. prior. Later on we'd see each other when bowling in the BFD league and other events. Ed became our greatest supporter of our hockey team which then was in it's infancy. He was quite a good athlete himself and once carried a 200 average in another bowling league. Needless to say he carried his weight working at the busy truck 3 on Spring street. A great guy like him will be...

My remembrance of Ed was enjoying the delicious tomatoes from his garden! He always gave a bagful to his daughter Debbie to give to me! He was definitely a generous soul! Rest in peace Ed, and plant that tomato garden in Heaven! ❤
