Members of the Robillard family,
I am sorry to learn of the death of Ed, I worked with him in 1956-58, as a Western Union messenger. Ed was always fair to me and never did I have a problem all the time I worked with him. I used to get him a cup of tea at the Rexall drug store at South Station on many Saturdays. I will remember him in prayer.
