The loss of Ed from our breakfast club and our hearts is difficult to accept. He was a truly lovely man, who enlivened our lives and hearts. We miss him so much.

I offer my deepest sympathy to the Yastrow family. It was a great pleasure to have known Ed for the past many years.

Ed. You were a friend, father figure, mentor, and confidant; a grandpa to my son Jesse and daughter Eve. You filled a void that work-enforced exile imposed upon my Kenyan family. Your home became our home. You taught me the true meaning of compassion, dedication, and a commitment to life, family, knowledge, and the wellbeing of mother earth--the universe. With you by my side, I felt complete. I miss you so much. Chap
