Jean, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Ed. I used to love delivering the mail to Fiocchi's and visiting with him there. He sure loved his crosswords didn't he? You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm sending my love your way. I'm sorry we lost touch, but you and Ed always have a special place in my heart.

Dear Engelking family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. While I have never had the honor of meeting Edward, his son, my friend Chuck, shared many stories of his Father's zest for life and love for his family. I hope these fond memories help get your family through this difficult time. You are in my prayers.
