To the family of Edwin Weiskopf, Jr...
I am so sorry for your loss. Eddy and the Weiskopfs (his parents: Dorabel and Big Ed) all lived down Reynolds Street from me. He always was pretty much a quiet guy, but always friendly. He hung around with my brother Jim and his friends, although, he was one of the younger in the crowd. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Sorry for your loss. Ed was a great friend and the best teacher an apprentice could have asked for. I owe what I know of this trade to his training. He will be missed. My family will be saying prayers for you.

Michele, Ed, Fred, Jeramie, and families my heartfelt sympathy and condolences for the passing of your father. I remember all the fun he and I had whenever I vacationed at your house many, many years ago. Your father made sure I worked for my keep and that we laughed had fun together. May your good memories sustain you through the sorrow of your loss. Love to all, Uncle Mike

So sorry for your loss. I knew Ed in high school and I remember our birthdays were only a few weeks apart. Over the years of doing electrical work with my Dad we had our jobs inspected by Ed Sr. and later by Ed Jr. Both were very hard working and very honest men. It was a pleasure knowing and working with your Dad. My Dad and I were at his retirement party. I know he will be missed.

Ed and family,
So very sorry for your loss. Rest knowing He is in the best place possible free of the pain and troubles down here.
It has been many years since seeing your Dad but I have great memories of back in our formative years when he lived in Chatham and we Chatham-ites 1st met Ed the III. Start of a lifelong friendship to Ed III who was a great Son and always there to the end for his Dad, as his Dad was there for him all through the years. You all had a great Father and head of the family.
Thoughts and prayers with you all,
