In addition to his wife, Miney, Edward leaves behind his children: Kerri Slade-Jones (Hadley), Keith MacKenzie (Kristy), and Kimberly Himmer. He will also be cherished in the memories of his grandchildren: Oliver and Isabel Slade-Jones, Kloe and Kora MacKenzie, and Joshua Himmer.

So sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. Eddie was a New Milford police officer when my husband Bob was. We had many good times with Eddie and Miney when we were young and newlyweds. He was an outstanding police officer and a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.
