Ed has never been forgotten. Myself, family and friends often find him among our most fun-time and fond memories. His name comes up often; he is loved and sadly missed. I pray that his family has found peace and time has softened their loss. Thanks Ed, for being a good friend who made life a lot more fun.

My sympathy to the Deegan Family. I knew Ed "back in the day" when Debbie (Dragon) and I lived in Barnegat. Ed could come down with Chris. Ed never failed to make us laugh till we cried. Fond memories.

Hey POP, I loved working with you and more importantly having you as a friend.. You will be dearly missed by all who were lucky enough to know you. You were an awesome gentleman, who allowed me to confide in you when ever I needed a lending ear. I will always remember the great times we had working together. I will miss getting "the infamous Deegan salute" . Ed we all love you and may GOD bless you and your family.
