As most of you know I've known Ed since high school. Ed was an upper classman but I got to know him very well through my friendship with Nick and Mary.I remember him as a true Irishman- always friendly and always smiling, andof course, a loyal Notre Dame fan.

I looked forward to seeing him every year at the Friendly Sons of Erin. My thoughts and prayers are with him and all of your family.

Sincerely,

Jim Burns

We will greatly miss Ed here at the office. I only knew him for a short time but always enjoyed his superb sense of humor. We would share stories about the joys of growing up in a large family. He often spoke of his children and how proud he was of them. We all feel privileged to have know him.
