Not sure what to say?

I arrived at Ed's office on Westborough and El Camino and sat in my car thinking I was too early since there was no one else around. I watched Ed emerge from his office, unfurl his American flag, place it proudly on the wall fixture, and give it a salute. Awesome! You knew he was in the office if the flag was out. On another occasion, I found Ed in his office, a World War Two video playing with bombs going off in the background. Ed was a true patriot! Ed promoted prayer, the YMI, and of...

Ed. Ken. Bob. Phil. and so many others used to enjoy Eds company at the local Starbucks early in the morning. He was very funny.very smart. He was very popular and everyone used to come by just to say Hi. We will all miss him and send our respects to Mary and his loving family and friends.

Rest in peace dear friend.

Ed was a good friend and trusted advisor for over 25+ years. I will miss our LONG talks and Laughs. Condolences to his family and friends, and of course Carmen, who kept Ed in line at the office on a daily basis.

We were so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. We have wonderful memories of the fun we had with he and Mary at the China Reunions and at the Golden State,1st Marine Div meetings. We will miss you old friend. Semper Fi Ed and Lorelie Fulwider

Spent the past couple of years having early morning coffee with Ed, and the rest of our little crew. I clicked with him and he with me. Two exchanges between us stand out.

I was telling him about my dad's best friend , a marine, who married a female marine. He asked me who was that? I told him Rene Rodrigue. He says, you mean Frenchy? Yes indeed I said. He knew my dad's best friend by his only friends call him that' name. I'll never meet anyone else who knew my dad's best...

So sorry to hear of the passing of this wonderful man. We always looked forward to tax season because it was our time to interact with Ed! A kind and gentle man who had a knack for storytelling and bringing back so many wonderful memories. As a fellow alum of USF, we shared many stories about his business major and the Jesuits at the University. As a lifelong college educator myself, much of my real education came from talking to Ed. Politics, sports, teaching, and so many more...
