To Ed, you were a great college friend. Always willing to help anyone in anyway you could. The memories you, George, and I shared will go on forever--the Florida trips, Washington DC, the endless pitch games, the Campus Center, the old station wagon, the FF's basketball, the late night dorm conversation... The best to you Ed and my sympathies to your great family. Paul

My Dearest Cathy,
As I sit and write, I look back on all the years together. Back when I first worked with Ed and we then went to start GEMS and Ed met you! The memories from then till now, your wedding and the dream of your wedding cake, remember? The laughs, smiles, jokes and Ed's smile. He was full of life, a teacher, colleague, husband, joker and above all, a friend. I cannot begin to express my feelings with this loss, I am truly sorry for your loss! My love always, Steve.

Ed was a great man. He and I worked together as paramedics. I can still hear his laugh and see his smile. He was so smart. He brought smiles, comfort and care to those who knew him and those who were blessed to become friends with him. May God bring you eternal peace my friend and comfort to us here who will mourn your passing to be with the Father.
