So sorry for your loss, I enjoy talking to your dad when he would come over for a hair cut we would talk about his family. Ed was so proud of everyone of you. May your memories bring you comfort as you grieve his loss. In thought and prayers.

You were the best roommate my dad could have been blessed with, Ed. I have so many memories or my Dad following you in his wheelchair as you headed to the dining room. And also you and Dad listening to your collection of musicals. Loved listening to your stories. And the strangest thing of all is that your final resting place is a stone's throw from my Dad's. As I did at D'Youville I'll check in on the two of you often.

Sincere condolences on Ed's passing! I always enjoyed stopping by Ed's room, or, in the earlier years, walking the park with him. I was so happy to see him enjoying lunch in the park with "the girls" just a few weeks ago. Ed was such a kind and gentle man. He will be fondly remembered.

Shirley, Bev, Sandy and Linda: Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your brother Ed. He was one of my favorites while I was at DYouville. He loved giving me a hard time, always calling me Shirley. Only we knew what he meant. God has another Angel.
