Ed and Family,
Just heard from Bob about the passing of your father. All I can say is, What a guy!
The mention of his name brings back memories of Canada fishing in the 70's. It made me feel like part of the family on those excursions. Occasionally, I pull out the DVD's that I converted over from old 8mm film (no sound of course)and laugh so hard. Great times leave great memories.
My condolences to Big Ed's family.

Sincerely,
Tony and Cynthia Pizzuto

Ed,
Sorry to hear about your dad. 95 yrs. old, wow!
Many good memories off the Latrobe/Lockwood connection. The alley between your house and Wally Trojans was a great "sports" area. Many games of pinners and hockey. Your parents were great to all of us and we all appreciate the old neighborhood. Please extend our condolences to Nanette and Pamela. God bless!

My sincere condolences to the bereaved family at this most difficult time. May you be comforted by reflecting on God's promises to remove all causes of death and the heartaches it brings. Psalms 83:18.

Edward Trojan is a familiar family from HOC School and Church from the West Side of Chicago, that I will remember forever. Our parents were good friends from the old neighborhood. Ed, Nanette and Pamela all went to school together. We sang "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" in the Gay 90's show. Many cherished memories with your parents from my childhood. You are blessed to have had your dad all these years. Wishing you peace to bring you all comfort and give you strength in the days ahead.
