I was so sad to read of Edward's death. We lived across the street from Edward and Harriet in Matlacha for 3 years. Such a wonderful, kind man. We have missed being able to spend time with Ed and Harriet since we moved away. 
Sending heartfelt love, hugs and sympathy to you, my dear Harriet. 
Love from Vic and Marty

Edward was a neighbor of mine in Forest Hills, New York.
I became friendly with him and his wife Harriet and visited them in Matlacha, Florida after they moved there. They were both caring and wonderful people and I enjoyed the times I spent with them.  
I wish you a peaceful rest, dear Edward. You spent your life helping others. You will be missed.

My sincerest condolences to Edward's loved ones.

Edward loved Thanksgiving - so much so that once was not enough. He celebrated it two days in a row, embracing the warmth, the tradition, and probably the leftovers too.

Dear Edward, you will be deeply missed.

There were moments when he would let dawn his guard and smile - really smile - and you could see the softness behind the wit. I feel grateful to have known him. He knew so much about history, classical music, the rhythm of New York life, and the small, beautiful things that make life worth it. He loved cats, quiet wisdom, and the energy of city.

I will always remember his sarcasm - that perfect, biting kind that made you laugh and think at the same time. He once called assisted living “the gods’ waiting room”, and, somehow, he made even that sound poetic.

Walking dawn memory lane, I think of Edward - a brilliant mind and a steady guide. He had a way of gently nudging you toward the right path, always with care and wisdom, often with a sharp dose of dry humor. Safety, direction, clarity - he offered all three, even if you did not know at the time.
