Not sure what to say?

Met Ed on the way to the grocery store ! I have a 1988 jeep wrangler witch I bought brand new ! Every time I went buy the house he said to me he wanted to buy it and if my wife was in the car he would say the jeep always looks better with her in it! Great guy !! Miss him already !!! SEMPER FI

I was a co-worker with Ed for many years. He was a stickler for details and he really took care of his people. So sad to hear of his passing. Prayers to Kristin and the whole family.

To Kristin, Edward Jr., Daniel, Lily & Family Ed was my final supervisor at EB before I retired. And, after a 32 yr. career I can definitely say he was one of the best bosses I ever worked for! May the many cherished memories you share bring you all lasting comfort. Sincere condolences, thoughts & prayers, - Nick Bottone Jr.

Such a great, positive human being. Always upbeat and happy when we would inevitably see each other at the store. Condolences to his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Kristin & Family. With love and many happy memories, Carolyn Hartford.

When I think of Eddie now I realize how lucky I am to have known him and proud to have him as part of my family. Ed was absolutely committed to his wife and kids. He worked so hard for so long and raised a remarkable family and led a remarkable life. Always positive, always supportive, always looking for the bright side and to have a good time and to include everyone in that good time. Ed always made me feel welcome and part of the group no matter where I was in my life. What a man, what a...

There´s not a day I can recall that Mr. Ed didn´t walk his dog up and down timber ridge. When I was little, I remember times where I would see him coming towards my house from a distance and would run to grab a basketball and make it look like I had been practicing because his positive affirmations always boosted my confidence. As I got older that encouragement turned into recruiting me for crew, which worked, which turned into bragging about me to my parents everyday. Looking back, I was an...

I have two favorite memories of Mr. Bockowski being a neighborhood dad. The first is when my twin sister and I were riding our bikes home from the Little League in a terrible thunderstorm and he just pulled over, threw our bikes in the back of his truck, and drove us home. We were crying it was so bad and we were so thankful he stopped! And the second being one time we were at his house late while playing with his son (our friend) Eddie, and Eddie´s mom served us dinner with the family like...

I grew up knowing Edward as "Mr. Bockowski". He was the dad of my friend Eddie who lived in the pink house in my neighborhood. He was one of my neighborhood dads. I grew up in the time where my twin and I would ride our bikes on a street until we saw a pile of bikes in someone´s yard. If the bikes were piled at the Bockowski residents there was a good chance Mr. Bockowski was playing outside with all the kids too. It was always more fun when he was. He always offered a smile and a joke and...
