Edward S. Hayden

Janet, Dave, Jody, Amy and family of a great man I only just met...and feel blessed to shake his hand and chat. Peace to all of you - you are all in my thoughts. ~Pamela Perry

winter by spring,i lift my diminutive spire to merciful Him Whose only now is forever: standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence (welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)

Rob ~ my sincere condolences to you and your family

I knew a man, we called "Big Ed",
He truly loved the life he led.
He spread his love of life to others,
Giving to children, men, and mothers.
His smile was warm,
His heart always open,
His faith he had in God,
Kept him hoping.
His love for family, friends, and all,
His arms to catch you when you'd fall.
When God made him, He broke the mold,
His pledge in life to never get "old".
He so enjoyed God's green earth,
Every gift, and every birth.
So as his life's at journey's end,
I know my gift was to call him "friend".

Our heartfelt sorrow and wishes of comfort to all Ed's family,
Fred and Judy Clark

To The Hayden Family; Please accept our deepest sympathy for the passing of your Dad! We got to know Ed when he built our house on Old Colchester Rd.with his two sons Rob & Mike. We developed a friendship with Ed lasting well beyond the home building.He was a very fair & just man who will be missed and remembered by many who's lives he touched.

Kathy, my dearest friend. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. When I think of him I see his beautiful smile. He was a happy man!! And Kathleen, he loved you so! He will be missed. I love Kathy. God Speed. Laura

Ed was a remarkable person. He inspired with his actions and encouraged with his words. I will never forget his kindness and generosity.

Charlotte, Doris and the whole Hayden Family...May God Bless you with Peace and Strength and Shine upon you His Love in this time of sorrow. My loving thoughts be with you, Ed’s kind and gentle spirit will outlast time...my prayers are with you...for the passing of a loved one so close and dear to you...Tracy

We will always cherish our memories of you and you will live in our hearts forever.

I'll alway's think of you Ed when I'm passing through Ct. and poling on the Natchaug river. I'll miss your everpresent smile, handshake, and 'positive' criticism on poling technique. (you son-of-gun you!) Janet, our path's may never cross again, but I'll alway's remember your kindness and muffin's at the Natchaug poling clinic's. Ed will truely be missed by many, and that, is a sign of greatness in life.
Amen. .....I'll miss you
