So sorry your and our loss; Uncle Ed was a true role model and good man. I am sorry I wasn't able to make it to his funeral to be with you all. May God give him is rightful place with his wife, brothers and sisters in heaven. God bless Ed and his wonderful family.

So sad to hear of Uncle Eddie's passing.
He always had a funny story to tell, kind words at family occasions, and we will miss him.
He was blessed with a wonderful family and a great life.
May he rest in peace.
with love,
Donna & Brian

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
