Dear Maureen: Sorry to be so late in extending condolences to you on the death of Ed. I only learned of his death accidentally and recently. I hope that you are doing all right. I have had a mass offered for him. With warmest regards, Elise Torczynski

Dear Maureen and family,
We just heard of Ed's death. We are so sorry but glad he is at peace. Our hearts go out to you and family. We will call you and find out where we can donate to celebrate Ed's life.
Much love,
Donna and Tom

I only knew Ed for a few short years, meeting him via an insurance project that he invited me to work on with him. I had lunch at Manny's deli just before the holidays with he and Ed, Jr. He was one of a kind. Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire Schell family. Jay & Cindy Cook

I had the pleasure of working with Ed in the early 70's at Edward H. Walters & Co. - downtown Chicago. Ed was the person that recommended that I interview with Cory and Adams in 1974 so that I could work in the suburbs and be close to my newborn Son. Ed was a role model for me in business and life, I will never forget him.

I had the pleasure and good fortune of working directly with Ed. Eveyone should be so lucky. He was an incredibly intelligent person, yet humble. Saying I learned so much from him, is an understatement. What a great gift. I will miss him.

To the Schell Family....our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will all miss Ed so very much. He was a wonderful person and so dedicated to his clients and helping his coworkers. I am just greatful that I was able to work with him and get to know him.
