Not sure what to say?

God bless Ed and Judy. A match made in Heaven.

Very sorry to hear. Prayers and Condolences.

On this, the 6th anniversary of Ed going to Heaven, I just want to share that I still think of him and Judy each and every day. I feel his presence every time I paint, work on an artistic project, teach one of my science classes, or see something beautiful in nature. He framed my perspective on beauty since my freshman year at SHU and for the rest of my life. On top of all this, his wit and humor still makes me crack up. I actually used one of his jokes today, and gave him credit of course....

Ed was a remarkable person. I had the pleasure knowing Ed as a student both at the Prep (1973) and at Seton Hall University (1977). He was interested in my work as an art historian, especially my work on the Pennsylvania Impressionists. I visited him about 10 years ago at his home in Bethlehem PA. I am glad I had this opportunity to reconnect. His work should be taken seriously as a member of the Newark School, which is only now getting some serious recognition. I remember as a Prep student,...

I just found out about Ed's death. I had the pleasure of knowing Ed while I was at the Prep from 1967 to 1971. He was quick witted, passionate and talented. I wasn't one of his art students, but I loved our conversations on all aspects of culture and the arts. Ironically, my wife and I just moved to Sun City Center in Florida, where Ed spent his last year's. All our love to Ed's widow Judy and his family.
