I knew Ed from the Hamden Art League, and also through the church on the corner of Livingston and Edwards Sts. in New Haven. He was a gentle, kind person in addition to being an excellent watercolorist painter, and he also liked to make humorous comments.

Ed was an active participant in the Hamden Art League for many years. He served on our Board in many capacities, and always showed up when a helpful hand was needed. His love of painting was matched by his enjoyment of being with other artists. We shall miss Ed.
