Ed has been a good friend to my husband for many years. I loved talking to him on the phone or being in his presence. Our age does not permit us to attend his funeral but know he remains in our hearts with great esteem and affection. Thaks for the memories Ed. Please accept our loving condolences to his beloved family.

My sincere condolences to the McGinn Family on the loss of Ed. Sr.
It was always a pleasure to be in Ed's company.
He was so proud of his family, his Philly row house Irish Catholic heritage, and being a graduate of Notre Dame University, where he played varsity basketball.
Ed was a loyal and faithful member of St. Bridget's R.C. Church in East Falls, a "Man of Malvern", and numerous professional and fraternal organizations.
I enjoyed our occasional visits to Murphy's Irish Saloonery in East Falls to watch and discuss all Phila. sports teams.
If you looked in the dictionary for the definition of an Irish Catholic Gentleman, a picture of Ed McGinn would be there.
Rest in peace Ed!
P.S. Now that Ed is in heaven, the 76ers are sure to win a championship!
