My deepest sympathy goes to you. I was deeply saddened to hear about Ed's sudden passing.

I had the privilege and honor of meeting Ed a few years ago. I treasure our conversations and his insight and wisdom.

With deepest sympathy,

While I never told him, Ed gave me a powerful example of how one could be a man of the world with a broad business background, yet have a simple faith and attend daily mass and communion at Our Lady of Mercy Church. Thank you Ed.

Craig, Vicki and Connor,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family members. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love sooo dearly. Remember all those great times you all spent together. You will cherish them forever. xo The Lanes

As a sports-crazed teenager in Philadelphia, I knew Ed (but he didn't know me) by reason of being a passionate fan of Villanova basketball.

I am most fortunate to have met Ed personally later in life. Ed became a good friend and someone whom I enjoyed a lot -- his sudden passing is a shock and I'll miss him.
