I am so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. I will remember him fondly as he was one of my favorite co-workers at Brandywine.
Our Deepest Sympathies to a great Uncle
We want to share our sympathies for the loss of Uncle Ed. He was a great Uncle and someone we loved dearly and enjoyed being with. We loved his easy going nature, his calmness and especially his dry humor. I can still see him in a room observing the situation and the people around him, responding with a grim, than catching his shoulders shaking with laughter. He was always there when you needed help. For that we are grateful we got to be a part of his life. With love from the dad
