Edward Howard "Ed" Abbe

I think of Ed Abbe almost every day and feel so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such a kind, fun, and inspiring individual. Ed left a positive mark on my life and on the world.

I think of Ed Abbe often and miss his fun-loving sense of humor, his kindness, and his childlike (but not childish) curiosity and interest in the world around him. It is especially meaningful to remember Ed at Easter, a time of renewal and rebirth. Though I only knew Ed in his 90s, I will always remember him as someone who was as eager, zestful, and engaged with life as a youth.

With deepest sympathy may you fine comfort and peace knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you in your time of grief. John 14:1 Do not let your heart be trouble,have faith in God.

Ed and I corresponded on the Booth family genealogy. He helped me identify pictures from the late 1800's. I never met Ed but my mother encouraged me to get in touch with him. I am so glad I did. My sympathies to the family.

In the book of Psalms 90:10 it describes those living to eighty as being "especially strong." Mr. Abbe, no doubt, was a man of special strength as he lived to be 100. Truly a feat in these current times. May fond and loving memories warm the hearts of those close to him.

like a tall tree in the forest that gives its shade to all, so are our love ones, but sometimes life just makes them fall. so r-i-p Ed untill we meet again, in gods new world were life will never end.

Great memories of Ed and Gladys playing at the Big House. Ed was a very special person with a brilliant sense of humor. He will be missed by many.

My deep sympathies to the family. I hope you can find happiness in the hopeful words of John 5:25

So long Ed, from a fellow Yalie. I enjoyed knowing you.
