Ed Kennison was a great person.For those of you who didn't know him well, he was the kind of guy, [in a room full of people] that you had to talk to before you left.His personality was larger than life. From someone who ran into him once in a while he will be greatly missed.I cant imagine how someone who saw him every day must feel. My heart goes out to Ed's friends and family. sincerely Mike Doran

Eddie I will always remember you as a small child when I was babysitting for your sister Missy, A small boy came to the door and asked if Tommy could come out and play I said who's Tommy and you said he's my brother and I said Tommy who? And you then informed me that you and Tommy lived there. I was shocked that I had really been babysitting for 3 not just 1 kid. I will always remember the good times of those days. You turned in to a wonderful Man, Dad,and Nephew. The first Bbq on Memorial day that Debbie and I went to.You were such a good Host. And the surprise you gave me. I remember what it was, And always will (thanks Buddie) When you came to Tn to visit your Dad and put on the BBq at his house for all the family from here.Remember our online Poker games, I will. You were taken much to soon from a senseless shooting. Your the Greastest Eddie, I love you man. God bless you and Rest in Peace
Love Uncle Mickey

I have many great memories of Eddie...he was a great friend to me and so many others. He will be greatly missed....

God Bless you all.

When we were all still children...Ed, Tom, Melissa & I used to live in the same Manchester neighborhood near Nathan Hale School. I didn't know Ed very well, because he was 4 grades ahead of me, but I did play together with Tom & Melissa. Sometimes we just hung out and sometimes we got into trouble. But always we had a lot of good, clean fun. Ok, MOSTLY clean.
My family and I wanted Melissa & Tom to know that our hearts go out to you two, and of course to your entire family and countless friends as well. Words cannot express how sorry we are about the recent tragic events that have touched you so deeply. Your loss is huge, and we can only imagine the hurt you feel.
This note is being conveyed to you simply to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Please accept our condolences and our hopes for your eventual healing and renewal.
With deepest sympathy,
Raymond & Linda Decelles, and Family

Words can't describe the emotions that you must be going through. My heart goes out to you. I just want you to know that his memory will never be forgotten in my life as well as on the softball field. Eddie was a very good friend to me. I couldn't have asked for more from a friend. Heaven is a better place now that he is there but he will surely be missed here on earth every single day!
God Bless and I will be praying for you.
With Love,
Ben and Heidi Little
We'll always remember your smile!

Eddie's Family ...
Oh, how heavy my heart is for all of you. My memories of Eddie go back to Bennett Jr. High and Manchester High when my son, John, played basketball with Eddie on the school & traveling teams. Eddie was a regular jumping in my car for a ride home after practices.
I remember a fun loving and always polite young man. From what I've read he craved out a successful and rewarding adult life which has been cut short all too soon.
What a heartbreaking tragedy. I'm so so sorry....
My deepest sympathy ...
