To the entire Farrell family,

There was never a finer man than Ed Farrell...a loving husband, father,grandfather and friend. He gave so much of himself with his many years of service in the military as well as the Fire Department,but his greatest gift was his love and dedication to his family.
We will always remember his warm smile and gentle manner, and of course the great strength he showed during the most difficult times. He left a proud legacy to his family. He was surely one of the greatest generation.
Our most sincere sympathy to all of you. God bless you
Kathy Voccola & Franny O'Connell ❤
