Ed, a kind, gentle soul who always was smiling, helpful and a genuine person. I remember working with Ed at Xerox when he was a print buyer managing many projects together. It was a pleasure knowing him, My sincere condolences Linda and family.

I am sorry for your deep loss Linda, Brian, Melissa and Charlie.
I will miss Ed's wisdom, his eternal optimism and his unique brand of humor. What I will miss most is his friendship.
Ed was known as "Bohrerski" at my house. One time I mentioned him by his legal name and my youngest asked, "who is that"? I said that's "Bohrerski" and he knew exactly who I was talking about.
I met Ed in 2007 when I started at Xerox, shortly after I started he had a Medical situation and he wasn't allowed to drive. I became his personal UBER Driver and we got to know each other quite well in a short period of time. I actually felt like Ed's Chauffer because he always sat in the back seat because my passenger door wouldn't open. As the years went flying by, we would still laugh at that "Driving Miss Daisy "experience.
Boherski was always thinking of others, when I saw him last week in the Hospital, he was upbeat as normal, but he was concerned about the health of a friends wife. He had every right to complain about his own situation and instead seemed more concerned about the health of other's.
The great Coach Bill Parcells ( who beat Ed's beloved Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 25) always said "you are what your record is" and from my perspective, Team Bohrerski went undefeated every year.

I'll miss you.

Love Eric and Amy Pease
