Ed, you were always a fun person both as a co-worker and most importantly, a friend. I will never forget our talks and laughter that we shared over the years. I miss you buddy, I really do.

Dear Edward Ray
I can't believe that you've entered heavens gate.  No more birthday messages to one another, or just to inquire about how our lives are going. Thank you for loving me at such a young age, and for loving me enough to help me get help for the abuse I was receiving at home. 40 years later, I am still able to accept who I am because of the love you'd shown. You will always be my first true love.  Innocent childhood memories, experiences and firsts now reside with you in heaven. Oh and he had your smile

I am so sorry to hear of Ed's passing.  My condolences to the Polacek family.  Ed was "my" lol telphone guy.  He was truly a great person, so sweet and always had a great smile.  

My warmest condolences to Ed’s family. He was such a great man and always had a friendly, happy, kindhearted smile on his face.  Prayers to you all to have strength during this difficult time.  May he rest in peace.   

My prayers go out to Ed's family.  I called Ed, "Verizon" because I never knew his name.  Ed, was always nice,  kind,  always wore a great smile.  Prayers to the family,  for strength to get through this very difficult time.  Ed "Verizon" , you will be missed.

I miss you Ed and I always will, always in my heart as a dear friend and sincere colleague.  I had the joy know Ed  and the luck to work with him for many years at Kaiser on many projects, changes and requests to help me “figure things out.  Ed was always kind, patient and thorough with a wonderful sense of humor that always calmed and assured me that our work plans would come out all right. My warmest wishes of condolence and sympathy to his family and friends. 

I miss my father and all the great memories we've made with him dearly.  He sacrificed so much just to ensure our wellbeing. I'll never forget when he made sure the mortgage was paid while he was in the hospital; even when he was at his lowest point he still fought for our stability. 

His unending strive for raising strong and productive children has my admiration. Although he drove me mad at times, I understand the willpower to strengthen me in the long run. I will forever appreciate the foundation he set in our home. 

Thank you Dad, Love you very much.

My sincere condolences to the Polacek family.  Ed is definitely missed tremendously.  I worked with him for so many years.  He was truly a kind , wonderful person.   He is missed so very much. 



So sorry to hear about your passing.  I still remember your coming down the hallway smiling and always had jokes.  You will be truly missed.  Prayers to your family.



Oh my Eddie Boy. I will miss you terribly.  I looked forward to your birthday messages and Mother’s Day greetings (since I was your work mom).  You were full of sunshine and happiness, a GREAT GUY.  Thank you for all you taught me and for putting up with me.  To your amazing mom, you raised a great man, thank you and I’m so sorry for your loss. Kathy, you were the Love he was always looking for.  Thank you for giving him his best years.  I know he loved your kids as his own too.  I can only imagine the hole left in your heart.  I’m so very sorry.  Cheyenne,  you have been his pride and joy always and so too was your little man.  He was so excited to become a grandpa.  I don’t know how to convey my sorrow for you loss.  You were Daddy’s girl.  To all our coworkers, this has torn a huge hole in our hearts, let those fun memories of Ed heal us all.
