Edward Mark Pantano

I am sorry I am unable to attend his memorial this Saturday. He was such a good friend and valued member of our walking group. Sharing a photo from August 31, 2024 at NY Botanical Garden. He is truly missed.

Ed´s remembrance well be held on September 20, 2025 at 10:30 at Mount St. Benedict Cemetery followed by a lunch.

He will always be remembered by me for his affable and welcoming presence, full of ideas and helpful suggestions. He made you feel at home. He will be sorely missed.

I got to know Ed through my Meetup group. We became good friends, and he was like a brother to me. I enjoyed the hikes and walks we took with the group. I am devastated to hear of his passing. Sending my deepest sympathy to his family.

Edward was indeed a kind soul and always gracious to me and my family. We will miss him.

I had a couple of classes with Ed, mostly freshman and sophomore year at Prep. The man never said a bad word about anyone. And if he didn't greet you with smile on his face, something was terribly wrong. It is gratifying to know he became a counsellor, and a father. I can't imagine a better person for either gig.

Rest in peace, my friend.

I remember Ed's eccentricity, his confidence in that eccentricity. That's what made him likable to me. He just didn't give a rip. We sat at the same table at prom. Good times. Fair winds, Ed.
