Although we are gratly saddened at his passing the time we shared with Uncle Ed and his family gave us a lifetime of memories we will never forget. The island, name game, cooking and laughing are just a few of the thing we will cherish. Even though we never built the group home with the kitchen in the center…all the time we shared means the world to our family, Thanks for all the good time Uncle Ed- you will be missed.

I first met Cousin Ed at the Laudano Picnics of the 1940’s, but didn’t remember him from that. We met up again in 2004 at the resumption of the Laudano Picnics. I have to agree with all that he was a wonderful cook. My daughter loved his crabs and linguini that he made for us all. We came to these picnics from Pennsylvania. I enjoyed my last conversation with him on June 7th and did see him at their 50th Wedding Anniversary Party at Brazi’s. He loved his family very much and was very proud of them all.

It’s so hard to say good bye to such a great guy. For 21 years, we spent all the hoildays together. The love and respect our families had for each other was something that money can’t buy. Rest in peace Eddie and tell Joe we love and miss him.
