As we come up on 5 years without you, I can say that not a single day goes by that I don't think about you. I know you're always with me, by my side through good times and bad. I just wish I could hear your laugh one more time. I love you forever & always Pop

Sorry to hear of Ed's passing, I knew Ed around town and was fortunate to work with him several times in the sheet metal trade. May he rest in piece.

I first met Ed when he was an apprentice at Scanlon and Hays Sheet Metal. We worked together several times over the years, Ed was always upbeat and a nice person.
My condolences to the family.

I shared my childhood with Eddie as well as my school years. We were friends and Ed always attened my birthday parties as a child. Ed was always joking and drawing hilarious cartoons about his friends. He was a talented artist and cartoonist and I am sorry he never persued that career. Peace be with you old friend. Hope to see you again.

We're very sorry to hear that Ed has left us. Ed and I worked together many years at Knecht S.M.
He was a hard worker (so strong) and a great mechanic, he taught me many things about the trade and also about life.
He was a character and had me laughing many times until I thought my sides would split!
I regret we will not be able to make the service.
May he rest in peace,
Tim and Carol Scattergood
