Please accept my sincerest condolences. Unfortunately I just learned of Ed's passing and am both saddened and shocked. I was happy to call him a friend from grade school at St. Thomas More thru Leo High School. I still recall fondly his great smile and boundless energy. In the end, we all hope to have made a positive contribution during our time on earth. His legacy is assured through his loving wife, children, grand children, friends and those countless individuals he interacted with in his daily life. Ed always made time to make people laugh through is gregarious personality. My personal regret is not staying in touch thru the years, just realizing now he also joined the Marines after high school. God Bless Ed and his family as they are hopefully consoled in his death by the wonderful life he lived. To Ed I say. Well done, Mission accomplished. Semper Fi and thanks for being my friend.

We are so terribly sorry Mary Kay; I used to work for Ed and Michael in the 1970's; they were my very first bosses. I just now found out; we would have gone to the funeral. Again, our very deepest sympathy

Dearest Dad,

I will miss you so much. I am so proud to be your daughter. You impacted my life tremendously.
You were a great grandfather to my two girls. Seeing the big smile on your face when they played basketball in the backyard was a memory I will never forget.
Your storytelling and selection of music made for some awesome memories.
Dad it is your turn to relax. You need not suffer any longer.
Love,
Sue

Dearest Dad,
You were a fighter your entire life.
I have truly been blessed to be your daughter. You were my biggest supporter in life. You always wanted the best for me. You truly had a heart of gold.
Thank you for being the best grandfather to Hayley and Hannah. You had a huge smile on your face watching them play basketball in the backyard every night. You would clear your schedule to be available to them.You told me several times your house was alive again with your grandchildren living there. You kept it alive, too. Your stories and music playing will live in our hearts forever.
Mom will miss her best friend for sure. You are finally at peace.
Love,
Sue, Hayley & Hannah

You will be missed. You were a fighter your entire life. I am so lucky to have you as my father. You were the biggest support for me, Hayley, and Hannah.
You had a heart of gold and showed it in so many ways.
Hayley and Hannah loved you so much. Nightly basketball hoops in the backyard. All of your great stories and music playing. The smile on your face watching Hayley and Hannah achieve success. Your hopes and dreams for them in life.
Mom will be lost without her best friend. You are finally at peace.
Love Always,
Suzy
