I will miss his laugh, and his love of music. I will always remember the many "Karoke Nights", and how he would have a beer in one hand and a microphone in the other. I will cherish in my heart all the times I would sing with Grandpa Wallington or listen to him sing with Uncle Ed. And who could forget the many nights down at Uncle Ed's Garage, when we would all sing together!!!! You will always be in my hearts and my prayers, I will miss you always!
**Grandma Wallington my love goes out to you, as you are also in my heart and my prayers

All the words that could be said will never replace what it is your heart and in your head. Never forget him as he will not forget you.

I was in the hospital recovering from a brain anuerysm, about to be discharged. Spanky (ED) and Joyce came to visit. Spanky told me that he knows I can't live alone while recovering from the surgery and that they had decided that I was going to stay with them. It wasn't a question.
On that day he became my brother and Joyce my sister.
I had a second brain surgery after that, extending my stay with them.
They asked nothing in return. I bought groceries and beer anyway.
This gives you an idea of how great a person he was. I will never forget his kindness and generosity. His passing was a shock to me, as it was to everyone.
I will miss our "debates" and our games of horseshoes.
I can add no more as all the other postings have said it all and then some.
Goodbye brother

This has been a very difficult thing to accept and I didn't know what I could say in this book that could express how I feel, my first entry didn't even come close. So I took some time to myself, to figure out what I wanted to say to my Dad, I hope he is listening.
To my Father,
I cannot cry for you
even though I'm in great pain.
I know crying is what mourners do
and my tears should flow like pouring rain.
But if I give in, let myself cry
I have to accept that your really gone
that your times was up, you really did die
and the rest of the world just keeps moving on
I want to be told it isn't true
it was all a mistake, I misunderstood
I want a chance to say that I love you
I'd turn back the clock, if only I could
to ride down the river in your canoe
or pic up some mics and sing a duet
just sit in the garage and talk to you
I'm really not ready to say goodbye yet
So I'll see you later
Your loving daughter
Nika

I first met Ed 5 years ago. I instantly liked him. He was a good caring man and a good listener. Any problem Ihad at the time he would always grin and say get a beer out of the fridge. We talked about family ,hunting ,and fishing when we were younger. He also helped me with many projects with my vehicles. No matter what was going on with my crazy life,I always left his garage feeling better.

Dear Dad; I guess this really is goodbye.It is very difficult for me to accept the fact that I will never see or hear from you again. I know you were proud of me and John and Nika we have done alright for ourselves but it was you and Mom that layed down the groundwork. Like our values our sense of right and wrong our willingness to do what it takes to accomplish our goals all came from you guys. Maybe it was part of your teachings when you spoke that phrase I used to hate you know I DONT CARE HOW YOU DO IT JUST DO IT regardless it worked. I am glad my childern grew around you and they enjoyed your love and kindness. What is sad is their children will only know you thru our stories. Those of a man who would help anyone who might be down on their luck or take in any poor animal that happened to be lucky enough to wander across your path or the man that loved the outdoors. Knowing you in person was the only way to truely appreciate you. Thankyou for being my Dad and my freind. I will love you forever

I must confess that none of my scribblings could qualify as poetry, but then again my grandfather was not a poet himself. What he was cannot be put in to words by a person of such mediocre writing as myself, besides what am I going to say that has not already been stated? I can simply say that he is not going to be forgotten by any of us that know him.
Grandma, if you are reading this, stay strong. Okay?

Joyce and Family,
I will miss Ed and his sense of humor and his wonderful outlook on life.He was a friend in so many ways, too many to list. I know God is enjoying his company as much as I did. God bless.

I will miss your tales-tall and small. No one could tell a story like you but then no one could get themselves into some of the situations you did. I know you'll have lots to tell Gram when you see her. You were always full of love, life, and most of all laughter which I will miss most of all. To Aunt Joyce, Ed, John, Nika and families-Uncle Ed was one of a kind, the best kind. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

This has got to be one of the hardest things I've had to do, to sit and write thoughts about my brother. What can I say, except I will miss him with all my heart, I was proud of him for the man he was and he leaves a legacy of kindness, compassion and a love of life that all of us can envy. My love to Joyce and the family you are in my prayers.

Ed was one of the first people I met when I came to America. He was tall and funny which reminded me of my brother. It felt a little bit like home when I was so far away. Through all the years of knowing him, he has always been kind to me and I admired his sense of humor. He will be sadly missed. Our deepest condolences to all of the Wallington family.

I met Ed on the CB Radio. I will miss his carefree attitude. He always showed the tremendous amount of love he had for his family and friends. We encouraged each other to get our Ham Radio License. We had lots of fun making and putting up antenna's. His joy for life and being a radio "ham" will be missed by everyone who knew him. Although We did not know him long, he was a great friend. I was very lucky to be counted among them. Both myself and my wife are looking forward to continuing our special friendship with Joyce and being there when she needs us during these trying times.

Your loving cousin, Robin

Dad was one of the best. He was the father I never had. Growing up Nika was my best friend. I had spent so much time with her and her family Mom and Dad would swear that I must be their adopted daughter. That relationship changed as I started dating their older son and only blossomed more as Dad walked me down the aisle and gave my hand to that son making me truly a part of his family as his Daughter-in-Law. Dad loved me as if I were his own. He made me feel safe when I was scared and loved when I was sad. Dad could always make me laugh. Dad was the greatest. I will miss his hugs, his smile, and his laugh. He loved and was loved very much. I am very proud to be part of the Wallington family. Dad will live on in all of us.
I love you Dad!

My father in Law, Spanky, was a wonderful man. He accepted me into his family giving me his only daughters hand. We shared allot of good times and laughs.
I remember many many years ago , on Christmas day, Spanky and I made a quick run to the Bradford Club to get some milk, since all the stores were closed. Of course we hung around having some beers, that was until the phone rang. Spanky answered the phone and as he hung up he turned to me and said "we gotta go". It was HIS MOTHER and even cold beer couldn't get him to challenge her. Its been at least 25 years but it's a moment we shared that I'll never forget.
Thanks for letting me be part of your family, you will be sorely missed. My prayers are with you, Mom and all who loved you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not have a chance to ever meet you, but if your daughter Nika is anything like you, I am sure I missed a great person. May love and joy find you in heaven, and may the memories of you give peace to those who love you.

The passing of my father brings me great sadness. He was a man that I looked up to and instilled many values that make me who I am today. He was a kind and generous man who touched all that he encountered. He will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to the Wallington Family. Ed was a wonderful man who had many talents and loved his entire family deeply and will be sadly missed. I will miss him singing with my Dad, Ray Saragian(Nika's father in law)@ the yearly 4th of July party and all family events. I will also miss the great stories he would tell, you would laugh for hours, he was the life of the party! He is one of the sweetest persons I have meant through my life time and events will not be the same without him. My thoughts, love and prayers are with his family. May God Bless and help you through this great loss.

There are so many memories that grampa has given me that I will cherish forever, he was my camping buddy, my canoeing partner, and more times then once, my shoulder to cry on. Beneath grampa's tough exterior he really was a teddy bear at heart. I was looking forward to having grampa twirl and scoot me all around the dance floor on my wedding day but instead he will have to be there in spirit. I will miss my granmpa dearly but I take comfort in knowing that he did not have to suffer long.

Though only by marriage, I am proud and happy to have been his granddaughter. My husband, Michael, learned a lot about life, living, and enjoying your surroundings from his grandfather. I know he is thankful for the things he learned from him. I will be praying for comfort and peace for Grandma (Joyce), and everybody affected by the loss of a great man, Edward Wallington.

You have given Ray and I much pleasure, love and fun and we are so happy you and Joyce have been in our lives and part of our family for more than 27 years.
We cannot thank you enough, you gave our son your only daughter's hand in marriage, who has enriched our family.
Our son Steven has taken your hand now. Peace and comfort are with you. You are greatly missed and loved

To the whole Wallington family, we send our deepest sympathy. I have many great and funny memories of him growing up with Nika in Alton. We were welcome in his home and he and his wife both treated me like one of their own. I will miss him and wish I could have been there to say goodbye. Please know how truly sorry I am for his loss.

My father wasn't perfect but his faults were just on the surface. His true being was kind, generous and compassionate. The world is a little colder without him. If there is any solace in this it is that he did not linger and suffer.
