Dear Barbara and Family: I am so sorry for your loss- Ed was always so wonderful to me when I was a young associate at the firm. Throughout the years I looked forward to Halloween pictures with Mickey Mouse and having him stop into my office to chat. He was loved throughout the Philadelphia legal community and will be missed by all.

Dear Edelstein Family: your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I still cannot believe Ed is gone. Seeing Ed at the office always brought a smile to my face and I always looked forward to Halloween to see Ed in his Mickey Mouse costume. He was the hardest working 'retired' man that I knew. He will be missed.
