I always enjoyed talking with Ed. We had many things in common since I lived in New England as well. He was a very gentle and patient person and was very proud of his children and their accomplishments. Praying in time all the happier memories will be there to comfort you all.

I will always have fond memories of Ed showing me the gardens at the Agricultural Experiment Farm when I came to visit, and of his tomato plants. It was a pleasure to work with him when he worked at Western Montgomery County Vocational Technical School where I met him. My sincere sympathy to my friend and his wife Melissa, and to his children and family. He will always remain in our hearts.
May God comfort you in this time of loss in ways you never imagined.
