Sorry to read about Ed. He went to school with my brother Richard Petruno who passed away in 1999. I remember Ed from seeing around my brother way back when. My sympathy to your family and friends. May
Ed have eternal life in the hand of our Lord and Savior. God Bless and peace to the family.

He was fun to be around when we were part of the marching band at Hellertown Lower Saucon High School, and as one of the Class of 1964. We last talked to him and Deborah at our 60th class reunion at the Carriage House, Hellertown, PA. May his soul rest in peace.
