My Dad was the most incredible, dependable, forthright, loving, organized, person that I know. If I had to choose a father in this lifetime, There would have been no changes. I was so blessed to have him. The only thing that gives me peace in my heart is knowing that he is now with my Mom again, who he never got over since 1994. No one ever compared. I lost a part of my heart the moment my Dad passed. I will always have a void. He was truly my hero. I'm so happy that I made sure to tell him exactly how I felt about him a few years ago. So I have comfort knowing that while he was alive he knew exactly what a wonderful dad he was and also what a wonderful childhood I had. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It really brings us comfort to know he had so many friends who loved him. Thank you again.

I am sorry to learn of Eddie's passing. We were next door neighbors on Peck St as kids. Eddie was only a few days older than me. We were good friends and played together all of the time. God bless you Eddie.

August 25, 2010

Unfortunatly, we cousins all grow up and have our own families and then drift apart but I remember Ed when we were kids and it seems like just yesterday. Kathy was my best friend when I grew up and I know she will be there waiting for him. May God Bless and Keep him and may you be consoled in the fact he has gone to a better place.
