EDWARD BERNARD SWEENEY

He was a member of Good Shepherd Parish, St. Columbkille Church and the Knights of Columbus. Ed will be remembered most for his huge smile. With his great sense of humor, he loved to tease and be teased.

Ed was very nice to me when I was a teacher in Ubly and married Marilou Ballagh, his neighbor. I saw him at the store and church activities and we even shared a beer or two. He will be remembered as a friend and neighbor by Marilou and I. So sad to see a friend pass.
