Not sure what to say?

Pat, Gene and I are so sorry to hear this very sad news about Ed´s passing. You and your family are in our prayers.

Uncle Ed you were always funny, loved your stories. Your love of your family was second to none. You are one of a kind..

Fair winds and following seas, dear Ed!

Edmund, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to begin, ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. May your many happy memories with him help to sustain you now. He was a wonderful gentleman.

Always enjoyed taking to Ed whenever we saw each other, a true Salesian gentleman. R.I.P. Ed

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Karen I am so sorry to hear about your father's passing.

To the Rapone family, our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. He was truly family-first and warmly remembered by so many who had the pleasure of knowing him. Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
