To Eddie's Family,
I grew up with Eddie on 5th Street in our youth. His
nickname among us was "Hero" I fondly remember him as
a great friend and I regret losing touch with him. I was at the
Mass Tuesday morning and I hope he saw me there. I will
always remember him as someone very influential in my youth
Godspeed "hero"

Dee, Peggy, and Tara,
I'm so sorry to hear about Ed. You have always been a second family to me. I will never forget "Dad" and all the times I spent with him and you all! I'll miss him saying "Panda! How are you?" every time he saw me! I'm glad he is at peace now, and he will be watching over you all. Dee, I love you very much. You're not only an amazing friend, you are like a sister to me! All my love to you and Mom and Tara.
Love,
"Panda"

So many memories - I don't know where to start - flea markets, auctions, yard sales, baseball cards at Fenway. Ed was like a brother - always there - dependible, trustworthy. Over 25 years of a wonderful friendship - we are blessed to have had him in our lives. He will be deeply missed. Love, Lorry & George
