Edward Ellis Atiyeh

Ed, it was truly an honor and blessing to know you. I think about you and know that you are with God and the angels in some heavenly realm. You remain an inspiration to me in my life.

Ed, we will miss your smiling and caring presence going forward.

It is the highest honor to be associated with the fine Company that you and your family have built and am committed to continue your fine work. Ed, rest in peace. All of our best to Karen, David, Linda, Bob and family in this...

Karen and family, your Ed will be sorely missed at our weekly Romeo's lunch. He was so admired by everyone in our group for many many reasons. We will leave a chair empty for the next month to honor him for the great person that we all knew. God bless him and all of your family.

David, It was an honor to be in company and acquaintance of your father and uncles. I hope you and your generation can carry the banner they created and lofted. Allan Widlits
