Dear Kathy, Wendy, Jen & Jodie -- I was so sorry to hear of Ed's death. I have so many warm memories of Ed as a friend and neighbor, sharing laughs and enjoying his eccentricities. And, of course, Kathy and he and Maggie and I were all members of the "Ruccioli" team at Rocky Point!
My very best wishes to you -- Archie Urciuoli
