Ed will always be remembered as devoted servant of the Maronite Church in America . I had the pleasure of working alongside of him during my tenure with NAM. He spent tireless years advancing the Maronite Church traveling around the country establishing NAM chapters and encouraging Maronites to join in our growing cause. Ed you will be missed but your memory will be eternal.
