So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was my husband Richard's bestman for our wedding in 1973 in Easton, PA. They were great friends during the 60s & 70s - both were science/physics majors at East Stroudsburg, and we attended his & Debra's wedding. I have alot of great memories of Ed & Rich carrying on together. My husband passed sadly in 2010.

Mr. Bechtel was a kind and fun man who engaged students with his wit and humor. He was my teacher, my coach and later, my co-teacher. I loved Ed and am sorry to hear of his passing. Heaven is a lucky place to have him!

Our deepest sympathies to the bereaved family. We first met Ed and Deb in our retirement community in Ruskin, Fl playing pickleball and became friends for 8 years. Ed was one of the topnotch player in our club. He had a very kind soul and was a very good singer which he showcased in Riverside Variety Show annually. We will miss his presence on the court, on the stage and at a party. Rest in peace Ed.

Sending condolences, love and hugs to you Deb and all your family. Ed will be truly missed in Riverside. Loved watching his humor learning the Charleston, playing cards, trivia and playing with your grandchildren in the Landings pool. May the love of family and friends help you through this difficult time. In Sympathy, Laurie and Mike Shimeta

What a great guy. Always smiling and laughing. We enjoyed seeing Ed on the stage. I have been teaching a challenging card game in Florida for a couple of years and I have never seen someone like Ed catch on immediately. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Deb and the families.
With love,
