Dear Angel, So saddened to hear about Eddy. Our memories of his friendship and love of life are so strong. We thought of him as our children's godfather. He was always so kind and thoughtful. Every time David picks up one his (many) guitars, he thinks of Eddy. You are in our thoughts and prayers. David has sent an email to Eddy's address to you. He would like to call you and has Eddy's cell #. So many memories of his love of life. God Bless you. Love, Patti & David Finley

Dear Angel, I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved Ed. My memories of him are of his great sense of humor, his love of food, his open heart to all of us who came through your door and most of all, how he adored the ground you walked on. I have missed so much in the past decade, being in Europe, as I am now. But I am devestated to not be there for you at this time. My heart and prayers are with you, dear Angel.
love Cathryn

Dear Angel, Fr. Jack Nanz told us of your husband's passing. You probably don't even remember us, but we will never forget you for singing at our wedding 37 years ago. The folk Mass at the Point was always the highlight of our week. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim and Peggy Wojcik (Pittsburgh, PA)

Ed was among the most genuine people I have ever known. Eating at Savarino's was always more fun when Ed was there. He was a great story teller, expert on Italian heritage and just a terrific guy. We are all going to miss you, Cuz. I raise up my glass to the memory of Ed Pontier and that he never be forgotten.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember when our Bible Study group would get together and the fabulous meals that Ed would fix for us. I know that you will miss him so much. He was so kind and funny.

I remember all those great leftovers I would eat (steal) when Angel and Becki and I rehearsed, year after year. "Angel, I'm going to go upstairs and get some water..." only to return with marinara on my chin and smelling of garlic. He was always so very, very kind to me.

I met Ed at the Italian Club in Nashville, or should I say he ran right up to me at the meeting and said, " So your from Pittsburgh" and his warmfelt stories began. I have looked forward to seeing him every meeting monthly. Last Wednesday He and I had to be told they were shuttin the lights on us or we would have conversed for hours! I will miss one of the most genuine friendly people I ever had the pleasure to meet.

Dear Angel: Ed was amazing !. I met him throught Tom Occhipinti just before Christmas at Severiano's. Of course, being an Italian musician from Pittsburgh, we naturally hit it off and spent an entire afternoon becoming aquainted over the best homemade wine that remimded me of my grandfather's best yields, and the most authentic food that ranked up ther with the very best.
Thank you, Angel, for sharing Ed with me and my family for one unforgettable Saturday. He will be remembered in our daily prayers. Centanno !

His energy and enthusiasm was the inspiration that encouraged his friends to go forward with promoting our Italian culture and starting the Amerigo Vespucci Society. It was a great thing that he did for all of us, his actions set into motion so much more than he may have realized. Thanks Ed, your personality will be felt for many years to come and you will be missed.
