We were so sorry to hear about Ed´s passing. Even though we hadn´t seen him in years, we´ll always remember his kindness and how thoughtful he was. I´ll never forget when he got tickets for my boys to see the NHL game in Tampa - such a special memory. Sending all our love to Liz, Debbie, Laurie and their families during this difficult time.

Dr Klein was such a sweet part of my childhood. In countless sleepovers he welcomed me like I was one of his daughters. He always set down his paper to ask Laurie and me about our plans and just chat with us. He was warm, cheerful and was so proud of his girls. I am so sorry for your loss and I am praying for you all.
