My heart goes out to all of the family for the loss of son, father and husband. I went to school with Ed and Pat. It has been many years, but his laughter is remembered. All of my best for those that grieve this great loss. My prayers are with all of you.

I"m distressed to have just find out that the friend I grew up with passed on. Charlie and Pat was a second mom and dad to me. I had a lot of adventures with Ed in our younger days. He was generous, funny and easy going. The world needs more people like him. I'll always remember you as will others.

Eddie will be very missed around the neighborhood. We will miss seeing him wizz by for one of his many distant bike rides that he always nudged Jill to go on. But most of all by his family who was the most important thing to him. Everyone knew that they were #1 to him and I wish you peace and as time goes on the hurt subsides.
