Just heard of Eddie´s passing. Deep condolences to Eileen and his family! Eddie helped me get my first teaching job at Fenwick. Spent many memorable times with him at Fenwick, Rosary and on the golf course. Indeed a great singer and story teller. He was the Czar at Village Links. A stand up guy!

I was sorry to hear about Ed.Even though I hadn't seen Ed in a couple of years I still remember that fun loving guy.

Ed, Jim Guzzo and I being young coaches had some great times together. We also had some great sing-a-longs in Val's back room. The Gaels have lost another fantastic guy. Jack...

The coach will forever be remembered. He was a great friend and will sorely be missed. Our sympathy to Eileen and his 6 wonderful daughters.

Reading Edward's obituary made us proud, too, and grateful for the many gifts and accomplishments of Irish Catholics in America. ...
