Guest Book
Ed and I attended St Mary's Academy and St Rose HS together, and both of us served after college in the US Army. Ed was a great basketball player and a good friend. I lived in Breton Woods, and Ed's dad would always share the ride to and from SRHS in Belmar with me to see Ed play. FYI, Ed started on the team that included Bob Verga, arguably the best player ever at the Jersey Shore. My daughter and Ed's son both graduated from Lafayette College. I will always remember your husband and father....

Bringing joy to his family and friends is Edward’s legacy. His smile, laughter, and loving banter made everyone know how much they meant to him. Whether he was skiing the slopes, body surfing at the beach with his kids, taking boat rides down the river, golfing or watching March Madness, Edward took so much joy in the time being spent with the people he loved and doing what he loved.
Edward is predeceased by his parents Edward and Marie and his brother Michael. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Bridget Gerlacki; his son Jim (Kate) Gerlacki; and daughter Christine (Michael) Frenville. He is also survived by his grandchildren Mark, Catie, Izzie, and Nate.
