On behalf of The Class of 1981 please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Ed was such a great classmate and very ornery to say the least! His big heart poured over to everyone. You never knew what he was up to but his personality was always fun-loving. A great friend taken too soon... May he rest in peace with his loved ones!

So sorry to hear of Eddie's passing, he was a great and funny guy. Always told him years ago how jealous I was of his hair and teeth. Prayers to his family. RIH Eddie

I am shocked and deeply saddened by Eds passing. We all grew up together and had a sense of family. I will always remember his smile, his kindness, and his silliness and sense of humor. I am truly sorry for the pain you are feeling. I am also sorry we all have lost a really great guy. My heart goes out to all of you. Remember the good times. I will keep you in my prayers. Much love, Theresa
