Not sure what to say?

We got to know Ed through my work relationship with his daughter-in-law Chris. While they were in high school, both our sons did gardening chores for Ed and Bernie, and then Ed after Bernie passed. Ed would feed them lunch and regale them with stories of his interesting and full life. Such was his gift that he could connect across generations. Sending warm thoughts to his family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ed, for 40 years. We were both members of the same magic society. In all my interactions with him, he never once uttered an unkind statement, was always very positive, always had a cheerful smile and made you feel special in his company. He was a treasure and a true gentleman. He will be much missed...

I send my deepest condolences to Uncle Ed’s family and friends. Uncle Ed was such a gentle soul, and I will always cherish the memories I have of him. Rest In Peace and comfort Uncle Ed.

I knew Ed since 1971. He was one of the founding members of the Poughkeepsie NY Magic Club in the 1930's (Society of American Magicians Al Baker Assembly #35).

Ed was a great guy, always smiling, and always willing to share his Magic, he was a true gentleman and will be missed.

Ed, it was an honor and a pleasure to have met you and become friends. Both you and Bernie were wonderful, inspiring, and giving people. For all of us that were fortunate to have you both in our lives, our lives are all the better for it. RIP and may you be back with Bernie.

Such an interesting, loving and caring man. We are grateful for the times we were able to enjoy his company. He will forever be in our hearts.

Ed was one of the first and nicest men I met in the dairy industry. He was generous in his teachings of a complicated business. He was an excellent steward of Fitchett Brothers Dairy masterfully guiding it, along with Alson, during it's zenith. Ed will be remembered and missed. My condolences to son Gary and nephew Bill, who were lucky enough to work with Ed.

Gary and family. My deepest sympathies to you all. He had a long and great life. Hold the memories close to your heart. Judy
