Feel fortunate to have crossed paths with Ed many years ago. It was always very enlightening to be in his company. We shared many Fossil lunches together as well as doing a weekly Financial Focus radio show. Spending time with Ed was good therapy. Our heartfelt sympathy to the Breen family. Ed was a treasure!

Condolences to the family of a hard working and very intelligent man. He will be missed by many in our small community. He and Martin Lake both dreamed of the 1812 Battle and made dreams come true. Congratulations to both men.

So terribly sorry for your loss. Ed was a great story-teller. We always enjoyed the Dickens dinner at the Hostess House where Ed shared tales. He will be missed.

I am very sorry for you, his family, for the pain of your loss of Ed. I know that he'll be sorely missed and often thought of. I worked at the Chronicle-Tribune during the mid 1980's, with Ed. Although I didn't work directly with him, I made enough of a connection with him that I developed a sense of friendship and of respect. Ed was a great man and I enjoyed having made his acquaintance also in connection to the "1812." I pray that God will comfort you all as you hurt from your great loss.
