Ed. As we recall, the last time we saw you was at Bardmoor where we each had gone for tests. The last time I spoke with you, on phone, I asked why you weren't Head Ushering us anymore. Answer was; "Sadie, (and you) going to a more convenient Mass." Now, with the Grace of God, I will see you at your 11:30 Mass on Monday. We extend our deepest condolences to you Sadie and Family. Rest in Peace Ed. May we all meet again in Heaven

Ed... you and I taught hundreds of PCSO members and civilians CPR while at PCSO. And we sanitized the an equal number of CPR dummies (the fun part of CPR training). You will always be remembered for your extensive law enforcement career, but for me, I will remember you as the big hearted New York transplant, training folks to save lives (sometimes to save their own grandchild). I really enjoyed teaching with you. You will be missed!
To Sadie and the Family: you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Brother Ed was my mentor,guru,advisor,teacher,confidant,confessor,disciplanarium(w/O hitting,me which I deserved many time).He had both feet planted on the ground.Such a good judge of character,honesty,common sense and logic that I could fill volumes. I trusted in his decisions implicity.A natural born leader of men inherited from his namesake,my father.He shaped my growing with an everlasting love of all sports and country.
I will always remember his lessons and particularly him.
Love brother Bill

I came to know Ed when he worked in the fitness center at the Sheriff's Office. We shared many stories and he was a true "cop"s cop". He will be missed.
