Mary Eileen and family - I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I have so many wonderful memories from "the old neighorhood", and visiting your house. May the love and memories of your dad help get you through these difficult times ahead.

December 6, 2009

Dear Nancy and family: I am sorry to learn of Ed's death. I lost touch with you tho I often heard about Ed now and then.
He will be remembered here in Killingworth as a very fine
competent and charming principal. He made his mark here
and I am sure whatever he did. My deepest sympathies to
all of you. Florence Marrone

Nancy, Dennis, Mary Eileen, Katy, Nancy, and Patricia. For some 46 years since you all moved to Winthrop Road, I could not have known a better neighbor, mentor, and friend than Ed. I can say I am a better man for having known him. Please know the Jacobs family will keep him close in our thoughts.

Mr Lynch was my 6th grade teacher in 58-59 at High Plains School in Orange. He was also one of my favorite teachers. Sixth grade is such an important year. What a wonderful leader we had in Mr Lynch: the perfect person to help us begin the transition from childhood to Jr High and adulthood. He created a very special relationship with us all. He even took our whole class to a Yale football game! I'm sure none of his students will ever forget him. I know I won't. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Gayle Brownell

Please accept my sympathies. He was a wonderful teacher now half a century ago, and he was one of a handful that inspired me on my academic journey through life.

Nancy,
It's times like this that it becomes very difficult to say the right thing needed to comfort someone on the loss of a parent. On behalf of Kathy & I, all the staff at the Country Diner and all of the people whose lives you & Ron have touched, please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. A new angel has been recruited, and as always, he will be there to watch over you all now & forever. Ron, remember the only shining star on cycle cruise night?

Nancy & Family: We are so sorry for your loss of your dear Ed. We so loved the interaction we've had over the years in politics with Ed, especially Barbara, on the Board of Selectmen. As we are out of state, we will be unable to attend your services this week but will have you all in our prayers. He was such a good soul -- one who is sure to look down on you all with loving memories.
