Ich habe von Ed's tot erfahren und hab in diesem Moment an die Hochzeit gedacht. Wir
hatten alle eine super Zeit zusammen und ich werede Ed vermissen, da er ein sehr feiner und
netter Mann war.

Trotz de Entfernung, habe ich ein schlechtes Gewissen, das wir ihm nicht die letzte Ehre
erweisen Konnten. Entschuldigung!!!

Leibe gruBe und nochmals mein aufrichtiges Beileid

Euer Stephan

I just heard the terribly sad news about Ed's passing. Please know that I am keeping you and your family close to my heart an in my prayers.  He was a lovely man and i will miss him.

Emily Brobeck

I am sorry for you loss. Ed was good man.

Valerie Durante

I am so sorry to hear the passing of Ed. I first met Ed when I was hired by Sperry in the summer of 1949. He was assigned as my technician.  He was wonderful person, so easy to work with. Within a few months, we both became the founding members of the new Sperry Ski Club., of which there are very few left. A few years ago, before he got married to you, we spent a lot of time together on and off the slopes.  The club then had a lot of activities besides skiing - waterskiing, softball teams, etc.  I sent you a short movie clip of Ed at the lodge, just a couple of minutes long.  Did you ever get a chance to see it?

So sad, Enzo Falco

So sad to hear. I'm pleased to have met him.  He was certainly making a best effort.  My sincerest to you.  My privilege to have shared time together with both of you.

Lisa Cohn (Ed's nutritionist)

Herb and I are so so sorry to hear that Ed passed away yesterday.  Ed was such a wonderful husband and father.  We remember so many great times when we were all together, at the lodge, when we were single, then married and then teaching our children how to ski.  Those were days to remember and cherish. We will miss all our good times together with Ed. Words cannot express our deepest sorrow at the passing of a loving husband and father.  Ed will be in our prayers.

sorrowfully, Herb and pat Schoenwetter

Deepest sympathies, and sincere best wishes.

Ich habe euch und euren, ja auch meinen verlust, nicht vergessen. Jedoch hat es einige Zeit
gebraucht, bis ich in der Lage war, die richtigen Worte zu finden. Von Ed's Ableben zu hoeren, 
Stimmte mich sehr traurig und ich habe die Letzten Tage viel ueber ihn und unsere gemeinsame 
Zeit nachgedacht. Vor allem meine insgesamt vier Wochen bei euch zu Besuch, boten mir die Moeglichkeit, 
ihn naeher kennenzulernen. Ich erinnere mich and zahlreiche Gespraeche, herzwaermende Momente 
und bin sehr gluecklich, bin ich im Besitz, vieler Bilder aus unseren gemeinsamen Zeit.
Nun wuenschte ich, koennte ihm die letzte Ehre erweisen, bei seiner Bestattung dabei zu
sein um gemeinsam mit euch zu trauern un Abschied zu nehmen. Ich moechte euch wissen lassen, 
dass ich in Gedanken bei euch bin und euch fuer die naechste Zeit ganz besonders veil kraft wuenschen. 
Moege Onkel Ed in Frieden ruhen und seinen wohl verdienten Platz einnehmen.

Mein herzliches Beileid, euer Kevin Kamenzin

Ein wenig troestlich ist die Tatsache, dass Ed doch viele glueckliche Stunder und Jahre mit Euch
verbringen durfte. Auch wir denkrn gerne an die Begegnungen mit ihm zurueck und warden ihn in gutter

Ed was one of the first people I met "at the club".  I will always remember his quiet gentlemanly demeanor. A fine person!

Praying that you'll be filled with happy memories and surrounded by love - with warm thoughts.
And sending my deepest sympathy and prayers on Unk's passing
I think of him as a good man, blessed with a long and good life and a good family.
Unk, Edward, was a really good guy, always cracking jokes, he & his brother had the same sense of humor.
I will miss him, to me and the family he is in Astoria, at 3061!  Dear Erika and girls, though this is a time of sadness,
be strong and brave.  You are blessed to have something wonderful happening soon! Do take care, all of you and Know I am thinking
of you with love

Jan Butler

I can't express how deeply sad I am for all of us, especially you three at Uncle's passing. I know
in my heart he is with his Mom and Dad. My Dad, Leslie, Claire, and all who are in Paradise. I
hope there is comfort in that for you.  I always loved Uncle for his generous spirit, his dry wit, and 
for spinning, spinning, and spinning all 4 of us kids, because we would laugh so hard and take several
spins each.  Poor Uncle never complained about  being dizzy.  I have always thought Uncle was a brave
man too. I can tell how extremely sorry I am that it appears I will not be able to make it to the funeral - a terrible shame & stain
on me, just because of the "show-must-go-on" nature of my life.  I send you all my love, all my prayers.  I will know the time
Uncle will be interred, and I know I will be crying with you.
         -God please bless you and care for you, now you are in sacred space.

Love, Annie Butler

We are so sorry to hear of Ed's passing.  Bob & I will always remember the good times we had 
with you at Matt & Angela's wedding (Ed & Bob eating a giant slice of chocolate cake!)
and our trip to NY with Dorothy, Orville & Ida.

Debbie & Bob Culler

We were so sorry to hear about Ed. He was a really nice man and good friend.  We will miss him.

Joan & Joe Coester

Gabriella and I are very sad to learn of Ed's passing.  We will miss him too.

Gabriella and John Castiglia

There are times along life's journey that can test the spirit deeply...

With deepest sympathy
Just a note to tell you that you are being thought of during your time of loss
My heart goes out to your and sank when I heard the news on Sunday in church about Ed's passing
I think of you both each time I pass your old house on Route 32
My God grant you comfort & peace, and know that your friends are with you in spirit

We never walk alone
The time comes when those whom we have loved the longest and the best will travel far ahead into a
place of joy and rest...
And we must walk a lonely path through shadows for a while without a certain kindred voice,
A dear, familiar smile - Yet each day brings us nearer to horizons yet unknown and even when the way
is dark, we never walk alone, for memories travel with us toward the happy destination where we will
join love ones in eternal celebration
My the warmth of tender memories and the love of those around your bring you comfort and peace
With deepest sympathy
And thoughts and prayers to you and the family

Thinking of you
May the sympathy of those who care for you and the precious memory of your loved one
help to comfort you at this time
My love and sympathy. He will be missed. He was a great man!

May you find comfort in sweet and happy memories that will forever remain.
In Deepest Sympathy

I am truly glad I got to see you before your passing.  I enjoyed our visits each year at Kwong Mings. Rest in peace.  Love Valerie

It's so sad to think he is gone, but he will always be in our hearts, and we have so many wonderful memories. Much Love, Nora and Mark

On Sunday mornings, as I got to the pew where I sit, I would look around, and Ed was always waving to me from his pew. I will continue to see him there in my mind's eye every Sunday. His presence was such a cheery, nice way to start a Sunday. He will not be forgotten.
