Sorry for your loss. Ed an I played on St. Theodore's Basketball and Baseball teams. We rode the 63rd st. Street Car together to Mt. Carmel H. S. Unfortunately we lost touch through the years, however some great memories. God bless.

I had the pleasure of being coached both in baseball and in life by Ed Mahay at Robert Morris College in 2001 and 2002. He instilled a strong work ethic, demanded respect both for and from the game and players, and taught discipline and strength. Coach Mahay was a very compassionate and understanding man who will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
