I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Ed over the past 12 years or so. During that time, I’ve come to know him as a decent, generous, hard-working, self made man. He often spoke of his children and grandchildren and always with a smile. His sense of humor and good nature was a gift. I always enjoyed sharing stories and listening to his jokes. I’m glad I got to know Ed and he will certainly be missed by all.

Dear Mrs. Bogdan & the entire Bogdan Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences. We were so very sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Bogdan was such a pleasant man & I always enjoyed speaking with him each spring when he would call to say it was time to start mowing your lawn. If there is anything we can do to help you during this most difficult time please don't hesitate to call. We would be more than happy to do anything we can for you. May God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time. I am sure "Ed" will always be with you in your heart.
With loving thoughts,
Steven, Christine & Richard Scirpo
