Mark and Dan,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. After losing my own Dad only a few months ago, I know the pain and suffering that you are feeling. Please know that I thought the world of your Dad and he was very special to me, and that he will always have a place in my heart. I owe him a great friendship and much more. Just know that your Dad loved you guys both very much and that he'll always be with you, as long as you keep him in your hearts. I hope that as each day passes, that things will get easier. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Aunt Diana,
We were so sorry to hear about your loss. Uncle Ed was my favorite uncle in all the world, and was and will always be one of the most special people to me. We will miss him dearly as you will too, I'm sure, but at the same time, we don't want to see our loved ones suffer. Just remember, that if you keep him in your hearts, he will never be gone. I owe a great friendship to both you and Uncle Ed and for that I will be forever greatful. I hope that as times passes, your pain will ease. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

There are many, many fond memories of you and Ed, but our favorites are Ed sleeping under the Christmas tree and the incident with the cat and bathroom hand towel... we'll miss the laughs,

We are very sorry to hear about Ed's passing but at the same time are glad that his suffering has ended. Uncle Ed was a great guy who was always there to help out anyone in the family who needed a hand and at the same time was a real "guy's guy". He truely was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by all of us.

Mrs. Torpey and kids.
I would just like to send by thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Ed was a very good man and will be sorely missed by myself and my dad. I was talking to my father today, and he was saying how much he will miss Eddie, and all the fun they use to have a Frear Park.

I was a friend of Ed from 9th Street in Troy in the early 50's. We spent many good times together growing up and playing ball in Frear Park and the "Cornfield". My deepest sympathy to his family.
Sincerely,

Diana,
We are so very sad that "our dear"
friend, Ed, has died. I know that
he has finally found some peace. Bob
will miss his golf partner this
year. We are in Florida but will
touch base when we return home. We
have such fond memories of Ed and
only wish we had a little more time
with him. I like to think of him
"in good company" and no longer in
pain. We love you and hold you in
our thoughts.
Love, Ellen and Bob

Ed, Heaven better have a golf course and a cold Bud waiting for you, or else. You are sorely missed by everyone at The Ale House. You were the cornerstone. The place will never be the same without you. Amen.
