Ed was my wonderful neighbor. He has plowed my driveway for 17 years. Attended my kids birthday parties for I don't know how many years. Had water fights over the fence with my kids. Our dogs played together. We talked for ever over the fence about everything from kids, dogs and yes politics and religion. He was a crusty old guy. I loved going round and round with him!! My heart is breaking for his daughters. They loved and were so devoted to him. I know I'll see
Him in Heaven! Love you always Ed!!

My most endearing memory of Uncle Ed was the love for and care he took of his family. When Grandpa passed he jumped into action with my dad to make sure his mother was well cared for. When my dad contracted brain cancer Uncle Ed did all he could and spent as much time as possible with him to comfort and care for my dad.
The world has lost a loving, caring, faithful man and he will be missed every day.

So sad and sorry to lose Eddie. Christine, Brandy, and Tommy - your dad was so proud of you guys and your accomplishments. He was always talking about his great family. Eddie was generous, had a big heart and was strong in his faith. He prayed the rosary daily, wore the brown scapular and even in his last days, as sick as he was he made it to mass carrying an oxygen tank with him. He loved his little dogs, his plants and was so talented in painting statues and repairing things. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry for the loss to his family. I will miss Uncle Ed. He was a wonderful person. Such a giving father, son and brother. Always looking out for his loved ones. Heaven gained an awesome man of faith.
