Walch Family,

I was saddened to read Ellen's obituary which was posted online in today's Star Ledger. Residing in Maine, that is how I get my New Jersey news, because The Star Ledger no longer is printing a newspaper.

Your son, Eddie, and my son Billy, were school friends throughout the Glen Ridge public school sys tem. I don't know if they remain in touch.

Ellen Walch, may she rest in peace.
