I know it´s been some time since Ed has passed, but being a worker at The Palmerton for nearly two years now, I was fortunate to get to know Ed. He truly was a great guy. Every week during football season, me and Ed would talk about the NFL games especially the eagles. Also we would talk about baseball often. I know that Ed would be very happy that the eagles made it to the super bowl, I know that he will be watching the super bowl from above! I am rooting for the eagles for Ed, this one will be for him if they win! I was also rooting for the Phillies for him too when they made it to the World Series. God Bless and rest easy! The bond that we had about sports I truly will never forget. Miss you!

As a son in law,I reflect on many great memories. Eddie was social person and was involved in a variety of community activities. While he enjoyed them all,his favorite was the barbershop. He enjoyed singing and stuck with it as long as he could. Eddie was a devoted husband and loved his family. He was a proud Navy veteran. Ed was a baseball fan and looked forward to iron pigs and Phillies games.He also loved his pets. Most recent, his cat buddy,Freddie, gave him such joy. Eddie left this world with dignity and faith in anticipation of joining his wife and all that heaven allows.
I was fortunate to have Ed for a father in law. Simply put, he was a good person. Rest well, Eddie, you will always be remembered.

There are so many memories of my grandfather that I could share. We spent so much time together for so many years, especially when I was growing up. My grandfather and grandmother encouraged me to explore music at a young age, helping me get a trumpet and join my elementary school band. He fostered my slight obsession with the Titanic disaster, spending a summer helping me build a replica model of the ship. The deliveries from the Schwan's man was a highly anticipated event when we would stay with them. It is a hard loss to accept, but I am comforted that my grandfather had a long life full of service and love. Thank you, Pap, for being a great grandfather. Fair winds and following seas.

I’ve been blessed with having wonderful parents who always showed their love and support for me and my family. My dad was a pretty easy going guy and his smile and laugh is one of just many things I will remember about him. During these last 2 weeks when his health declined we were so lucky to spend so much time with him. We shared many memories and talked about his going home to be with my mom and loved ones. Dad had strong faith and would just say, “I’ll be with Phyllis again and for that I’m happy”. Dad, you were a great father. You were never afraid to say “I love you” and you were always there for me when I needed you. A piece of my heart is gone but I know you are now at peace and you and mom can be together once more. I’ll see again Dad until then sleep peacefully.
