Not sure what to say?

I just read the wonderful comments that you all made about my father and realized how many lives he touched How he was such a wonderful teacher to others in giving. Thank you so much for such kind words.

Ed was my first and greatest mentor when I started in IG business at Air Liquide. I have learned a lot from him - how to listen to the customer, close deals, travel in style and how to order the right Martini with three lemon twists. I still share Ed's wisdom and stories with the next generation. His larger then life personality, sense of humor and compassion will be missed and remembered. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Eddy was my career mentor. He took a chance and hired me when I was really too young for the job....but he gave me that shot. 46 years later, I retired from that very business. I owe Ed everything. He opened a door for me that changed my life. I could not possibly thank him enough. I miss you old friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed for over 40 years. He was one of the best managers and true friend you could count on for advise. We´ll all miss his laugh and sound wisdom.

In loving memory of a loving person. My condolences to the family. I worked for Ed at Air Liquide. Lorraine Lawrence
