Dear Rosalie & Family,
Please except my deepest condolances with the passing of Eddie. Many memories flood my mind of growing up on the Southside,, and Eddie is a part of them. Playing softball at Linclon,,, running blindly through the woods from the police,uninvited guests, broke up one of our parties up on Mill Hill,,, Ed chasing young Freddy Scudder with the hammer that Freddy used to hammer out the "CORK" in our beer keg. I hope your happy memories of Ed sustain you during this trying time.
Rest In Peace, Eddie

Ed was a quiet, dependable member of the Line Department who had a great reputation. In all the time I worked at the Service Center, I heard nothing but good about him. My thoughts are with the family during this sad time. You've lost a well-respected NYSEG employee but, more important, a loving husband, dad and grandfather.
