It's been 14 years since Ed passed and not long ago I found out. Eddie Mcnally was a good friend of mine in early childhood in Wollaston Mass growing up together on Harvard St. We played a lot of baseball together; he was my catcher and I his pitcher for South Shore Buick in the Quincy Little League. Eventually when the McNally's moved to Braintree we slowly drifted apart and went our separate ways, but I never forgot him. God bless his spirit! Paul Blandford

To the McNally family and friends,



You are truly the lucky ones, the ones who were fortunate enough to spend so many years and have so many memories with Ed. He was man that made everyone smile. I loved being around Ed and the McNally family, it was always a great time. Ed's sincerity made you love him even more. I was glad he was such a great friend to my family and my dad. He will dearly be missed.



Love Steve Rado

Anne: It's rare in life that you have a chance to cross paths with a family friend that bounced you on his knee as an infant, however I had the great fortune of this happening with Ed when I started working for Casio. He embraced me from the time I walked in the door in Dover and always made sure that all was well. Whether it was business meetings, golf outings or trips to "Marshalls", Ed always shared his wisdom and humor, which will never be forgotten.

It is said that the measure of a man is not his material possessions, but the lives that he touched along the way. Ed touched thousands of lives and he will be sorely missed.

Anne, on behalf of my Mom, Dad, brother's John and Justin and sister Katie, our prayers are with your family and God Bless.

Please accept my heartfelt condoleces on the passing of Ed. He was always gentle and was treating equally to everyone regardless the positions in the company (Casio). He was definitely one of the warmheartest boss I have ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with you in heaven.

Ed visited us often during his tenure with Casio. Although we enjoyed a mutually successful business relationship, I most enjoyed our "golf" meetings and the dinners that followed. Ed's pride in his family certainly showed as well as his love of everything "New England." We extend our thoughts and prayers to his family.

Anne: I was very saddened by the news of Ed's passing. With this wonderful man, you won't hear "I enjoyed him" or "it was a pleasure to work with him"; you'll hear "I LOVED him", from anybody who was with him, professionally or personally. He was one of the brightest, kindest, funniest and most good-hearted men I've ever known, and all of our lives were enriched by the years we spent with him, whether in Basking Ridge, Monte Carlo, Tokyo, or everywhere else we went together. Wherever we went, Ed was Ed, and that's as high a compliment as one can give.

I wish you, Jen, and Jeff nothing but peace, kindness and happiness. That's what Ed gave to people, and that's what I'm sure he has now.

With love: Todd Ruhalter

Though I only knew Ed during his Casio days, and met his daughter and wife a few times, he was truly a great family man who was admired professionally and personally. I know he is in a better place, for he was a truly good soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you all
