Ed, put up an incredible fight with such grace. I've been lucky to know "Eddie" for more than 25 years. We've traveled together, worked together and had many, many, many laughs together. My mind is FULL of so many great memories and as I type this, the stories are flooding into my head. A bright, kind, thoughtful, funny guy. We were lucky to have you and will miss you tremendously.
My heartfelt condolences to the family for your loss.

I was one of Ed's fraternity brothers at Bryant College. He was a great guy to be around. Even at this sad moment, I'm recalling many of the great times we shared during that time. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about Ed. I still think of him as a kid---sweet and kind. Although I haven't seen him in so many years, I always had a soft spot in my heart for him. Carole, my heart breaks for you.

Dear Nancy and Matthew, my sincerest condolences. I will always think of the super bowl parties that he came to decked out in the opposing team's colors. His passion and loyalty for those he loved was bigger than life, just like his personality. May you find peace in the memories. Virginia LaGanke
