Dear Buckingham family,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. I took care of Ed at Dr. Moiduddin's office for many, many years and he has always been one of my favorite patients. We teased each other and laughed all the time. I will miss him so much. He was a very special man. May your memories of him bring you peace. My love to you all especially Annette. Carolyn

Dear Annette and Family,
Carl and I are so very sorry that we missed the wake and funeral. Having just spoken with you earlier in the week we were just praying and waiting. We were informed by Stan, of Ed's passing, today Monday at 2PM. We had not seen the notice as we don't read the Times. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Carl spent many evenings working in the print shop and we have many happy memories of those days. May all of you know that he's in a much better place.
We are glad we did get to see him at one of the Fish fries at St. Albert's during the past lenten season. Ed was a kind and gentle friend who always had a smile, he will be missed by everyone.

What an incredible loss. He was a very successful man in many ways who never was famous but really should have been. Wonderful father, husband and role model for many. Never angry, laughed easily and loved continually.
He had an impact on everyone he met. What a sad day.
