I only knew "Daddy Eddie" for a short time. I am married to his step-daughter Brenda and from the minute I met him I knew he was a very special person. I visited with him as offen as possible but our time together was memoriable. He would tell me stories of his time in the Air Force and he would describew them vividly as i9f they were yesterday. He was loved and was will be missed by many.

I knew Ed for a long time. He was one of the younger members of the "greatest generation". He was a good man. We enjoyed his "Bob Hope" type humor and we had alot of fun together.

Dear Uncle Eddie. Your sister,my Mom Betty Belkowski, always talked about her "baby brother" with your good looks, charm & fun ways. I remember the times you came into town to visit. I still have the "business card" you gave me. Rest peacefully with your whole family. YOU are the last of the Nizinski brothers & sisters.....neice Janis Belkowski (PortVue, PA)

Dear Uncle Eddie: You were the sweetest and the funniest of all my many uncles. I will always miss you; especially with your "feel good cards". (I have a drawer full.) Also your amazing sense of humor. May your family reunion in heaven be something we all envy. Much love from your niece, Jacqueline Nizinski Galley
