I worked with Ed at Kodak. At one time he was my supervisor. He was a very nice man. I don't ever remember him becoming angry. He was a dedicated worker. He was quiet and unassuming. I enjoyed very much working with him and I'm sad he's gone. Donna Smith

I am devastated to hear of Ed's passing - he was a great Friend of mine! We met at Riverton where he lived and I worked. I noticed him walking dogs every day, and we became fast friends bonding over our love of dogs. Ed's pup Sashee and my "Sammy" AKC Samson Eduardo (Ed's nickname) were brother and sister. We took them to obedience classes together - we had to be separated because the dogs wouldn't stop playing!
We went to dog shows together and his Sashee became an AKC Champion while my Sonny watched from the sidelines! Although he was somewhat quiet and reserved, Ed & I enjoyed spending time together and getting to know each other while the dogs played. He had actually led a very interesting life! He had done a lot of traveling. He was also a Huge Fan of Elvis! He had a small group of close friends that he socialized with, and was active in the Riverton community. We lost touch after I left my job, but reconnected recently and renewed our friendship. My heart breaks to think I have lost my Friend Eduardo J Niles!!!
