I had the privilege of being on a jury with Chief Doocy in February -March 1992. I had just moved into a condo before the trial started. He provided many useful suggestions on several projects and lent me a 4-foot level to install drape rods. I was impressed his kindness and helpfulness.

Dear Gina and family. I am so sorry to hear about Ed. He was indeed beloved by so many. He was a
great warm person who adored his family and was always so generous to all. I will miss our Christmas eve
tradition of a visit and a wee nip. Please stay in touch and down the road we shall toast him together in person. Thinking of you and your family. Shirley Campbell

Ed was a kind-hearted & fun-loving man with a great personality and sense of humor. The world is a better place for having people like Ed in it. He contributed greatly as a veteran, fire chief, father, grandfather & husband. I can’t remember him without a smile. My thoughts and condolences go out to Ed’s family and friends.

Gina,
Pat and I were very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Ed was a great guy to work with when we were at Engine 19's quarters. That continued over many years after at our various assignments. I have fond memories. To you and your family, our deepest sympathy and please know that you are in our prayers during this trying time.

To Mrs. Chief & family: It's hard to believe that the Chief 'finished' his last assignment and "returned" to his eternal "quarters. I am sure some of the Heavenly Fire Dept. responded to his entrance to that big firehouse. I can just imagine some of the war stories being swapped back & forth!
Rest in peace, Chief, we'll carry on from there! God keep you in the hollow of His Hand. Love n' prayers, DenMom55
