Dear Drew and Mr. Edell,
    I am so sorry to learn of this!  Just yesterday I wrote him a note, remembering my time with your company, but it came back 'undelivered'  I would like to share it below.  Will there be a Shiva?
All my condolences, I wish there was more I could say!
Best always
Richard Trifan

Subject: for Dunnan Edell

Hello Dunnan!  
     Remember me?  The eager guy who worked at your 200 Murray Hill Pway location from 1990 to 1992 when I went to Colgate.  Since 2003 (after a stint at Conair Corporation, with Leandro Rizzuto) I went LLC private, and have been consulting in government rail (Amtrak, FRA) New York city (DCAS, DoITT agencies) and since 2013 have been on the MTA unification of the New York transit agencies (LIRR, MetroNorth, Bridges & Tunnels, and the NYC Subway and Bus system).  One common business architecture, technology platform, etc.  there will be a huge savings for the Albany state infusion and the City's budgets.
    I have always stayed in touch with my childhood friend Rick Handel, who knew of your family even back when I worked for you.  Speaking with him last week, I thought to reach out with my best regards for all the generations of Edells.  I hope everyone is prospering, and I surely learned a lot about management! (trust, but verify)  for example those Sudden Change filler vendors.
My contact info is below and if you're ever in Lower Manhattan I am at 2 Broadway by that bull statue.

Best,
Richard

I am very saddened to hear this news. Dunnan believed in me and gave me chance to work for him when I was a recent college grad working as a temp. receptionist at CCA. He pretty much started my career and I could never thank him enough for that opportunity. He was truly a great person and someone I will remember forever!

My sincere condolences to the Edell Family. Dunnan will certainly me missed.

I met Dunnan on the basketball court in the 80's in Harmon Cove. We frequently ran into each other throughout the years at Trade Shows. I was shocked and saddened by this news....

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Edell family.  Dunnan hired mew new to advertising and pushed me to my limits.  I am forever grateful for his mentorship and pushing me to limits I never knew I could reach.  Rest in peace Dunnan.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Edell family.We are truly sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss.  I will always fondly remember the many hours we spent watching our boys play hoops.

My family and I are all saddened to hear of Dunnan's passing.  I enjoyed getting to know him and he will be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we will remember him.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we will remember him.
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we will remember him.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we will remember him.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we will remember him..
When we are weary and in the need of strength, we will remember him.
When we have joys we yearn to share, we will remember him.
So long as we live, he too shall live, for he is now part of us, as we remember him......
