Sorry to learn of your husband and father's passing. I still search the internet looking for information of people in my past and came upon Ed Sr.'s obituary this evening. I remember his calm and quiet nature and the love he had for his family. May God comfort you all in your loss.

My husband Edward (married 56 years) was a tall quiet man. He had the nicest blue eyes and a big warm smile. He was helpful to everyone and his words of wisdom will live on. He is so missed by our wonderful family. He lived a full happy life and continued to think the NY Giants would improve. He is now home in heaven with his mom, dad, and sister Jane. While life goes on, you will never be forgotten. Thank God for wonderful memories!

Love you more,
Rita and family

I have known his daughter, Susan, for the past several years and knew how much she loved and admired her dad. He must of been a very special man to raise a daughter as wonderful as Susan.
May his memory be eternal,
