Just wanted to let you know I would see Ed on bike trail on Longwood Markham , he always waved with a type of salute. You could tell he was a kind and good man! Your work and legacy for him will not go in vain . All you did to make it safer for the walkers and bikers to cross! Thoughts and pray are with you and your family!

I always looked forward to seeing him on the walking trail. He always smiled and said hello. I waved to him as I rode by on my bike. He is missed.

While we live very close, sadly I did not have the pleasure of knowing your father, but I have heard many wonderful things from those who did. My heartbreaks for your loss and I hope and pray we can make some positive changes in our neighborhood to honor his legacy. May you find a little peace and comfort at this difficult tie. Your entire family are in my prayers.

Ed was one of those wonderful neighbors that turned into a life-long friend. After we moved into our neighborhood 56 years ago, we met the Milcarsky´s Clan-Ed and Maria and their young kids, Nancy, Eddie Jr. and Diana. Flying in and out of our homes, without a knock, our two sets of kids would stream in a constant flow of energy, chatter and excitement. It was Norman Rockwell all over again.

The big day came when Ed and Maria decided to build a magnificent pool. It became the focus of neighborhood recreation and fun. Not to be out done, and, in keeping up with the Milcarsky´s, we later also put in a pool. The fun, screaming and laughter increased even more. Our cozy little neighborhood was home for lots of youngsters during 1960s, 70s and 80s. Those homes were also filled with love, happiness and future dreams. As it turned out, the children ended up as top professionals with significant lives.

For quite a number of years, we would never miss a New Year Eve party at Eddie and Maria´s place. We exchanged parties for all manner of wonderful occasions over the years. And we were also together with the sadness of loss. Since they became so close, Ed and Maria came to know many of our extended family and life-long friends-even those from our high school.

For these reasons, being without his friendship seems unthinkable. It was like a rite of the Christmas season for me to stand next to Ed and enjoy jokes and funny stories as we watched our families grow from children into parents. To say we were close would be an understatement. When our daughter Wynne decided to leave the nest and move out on her own into an apartment, Ed took over like a stand-in father, eagerly volunteering not only the use of his business´s large truck, but supplying the movers from his staff as well.

With such an engaging personality, Ed was the ultimate salesman. Our home was full of GE appliances because of his talents. So many of his customers loved him. But I also know he encountered some real challenges in both setting up his successful appliance store on Route #434 in Longwood, FL, as well as in selling his business with his retirement. As a very astute businessman, he was able to emerge victorious and was eminently successful.

In recent years, I would have lunch on occasion with Ed to see how he was dealing with Maria´s health issues. Those matters were so painful to him, but I think he was at peace in restructuring his life. Ed´s was clearly a man of deep faith.

One final note. Ed had been in the military, but didn´t mention it much over the years. But when Nancy told us that he was to be laid to rest at the National Cemetery at Cape Canaveral. I remembered . . . and I giggled a bit too. For you see, I had made plans to be there too, at Canaveral. Imagine, neighbors again, after 56 years!

I will miss him greatly and think of him with a special fondness.

Yo, Ed, I'm going to miss so much you voice, your friendship, your wife, the times that we had, your dinners, your stories, your photos of yourself and Maria together. Murray Court, will no longer be the same without you. .Damn..you old man..I miss you so much and think of you every day that I wake. Damn, buddy, I'm going to miss you so much. Damn, Ed, I left that same morning at 6:25 am on my way to Home Depot, If I had left seconds later this would have never happened, but then again, there is a reason for this.

Ed, my buddy, my neighbor, my friend, my hero, I'm so sorry you died this way.
We the Bermudez family are devastated.
