Very sorry for your loss
I worked with Ed at Amerbelle in Rockville in the 90's, and also at Board of Ed in Ellington later on. He was a great person, his mechanical knowledge was fantastic, he drove the school bus for all of my children and they always were glad to see him.
Prayers for his Family he will be missed by many.

Dear All of You,
Ed was/is so proud of all of you! He would stop by periodically to tell me how everyone was doing, with face beaming. Words don't convey the sadness I feel for Ed's passing and the heartache you all are feeling during this dark time. Please remember that the sun is always behind the clouds. I hope you can take comfort in warmth of the beams of "sunshine" Ed sends your way in the days ahead.
My heart and thoughts,
Paul Grzyb EHS
