Its a sad day for our family to lose another cousin. We will miss Ed very much. Ed was a wonderful, inspiring, creative guy who loved to eat, drink and entertain. He had a great sense of humor and was very generous. He will be missed. Roni Talan and Jeff Montgomery

We spent time with Ed in his second home in Positano eating on his back porch with the view he loved of the duomo & the bay of Positano. "La Dolce Vita" Gordon & Christine Haas
