Ed and I met at Ft. Monmouth and we served together our entire tour of duty in Vietnam. We lost track of each other after the Army but we we did talk on the phone a few times over the years. Ed was a good man and I'll miss our phone calls. Rest in Peace!

I am very saddened to hear of Ed' s passing. I worked many years with him at Tomkins Corp in Whitinville and over the years would often smile over some of the fun and sometimes hysterical times we had. I had no idea Ed was sick. Sometimes life just passes by so fast. I will miss him and I'm so sorry for your loss.
