To my teammate- classmate- roommate-life long  friend, your smile, gentle-soul is going to live in my heart for ever. RIP, eddy. Joey

Ed was one of the easiest going guys I ever knew. He always made me feel relaxed and welcome. His smile and laugh will not be easily forgotten. My deepest condolence to his family. Ed was a very bright light. His light shines brighter still.

Finding it hard to put my feeling into words. Ed was one of the few people that could always put me at ease. His  laugh and smile. Definitely one of the easiest going guys I ever knew. 
although I haven't seen him in years. I can picture his smile. It still makes me smile. To Ed's family, my deepest condolence. He was absolutely a bright light.

God Bless your Soul my Friend/Brother... May you be at Peace.. I will always love you... XO

I am so very, very sorry for your loss.  I worked with Eddy at the Fire Dept and I fondly remember his big smile and infectious laugh.  He was such a good story teller, too.  God Bless you and your family.

I was dismayed to hear about the loss of your son/brother Eddy. No words can express the sorrow I feel for all your family. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Eddy was a dear and close friend of both my daughter Melynda, and my late-son Patrick since grade school. Over the years Eddy would come over and hangout in our garage with Patrick and my late-husband talking and laughing about who-knows-what. Over the years he always greeted me with this big smile. And up until the last time he was at my house, which wasn't too long ago he never called me by my first name it was always Mrs. C….  So many memories he has left with so many friends he touched along the way.  We will miss you dearly Eddie!!

No words are adequate to express the sorrow I feel for your loss.  Life does not make sense in losing Eddy is tragic, and every bit of my heart goes out to all of you during this most difficult time. Eddy was a friend to my brother Patrick and myself since grade school. I feel so blessed and lucky to have known him.  He was such a gentle soul, and so fun to be around.  His humor, laughter, smile and the many many memories I will hold close to my heart “always”.  
Blessings, Melynda Contreras

Please except my condolences, I worked with Ed at both Crippen Ambulance and LA County Fire Dispatch.  Ed was always a fun person to be around.  I loved our conversations and missed him a lot when we lost contact.  He is in my prayers as is his family and loved ones.
