Here are some special memories shared by family and friends.
I'll always remember Ed as a fine gentleman. I met him in 1978 when I started working as an auditor for Fidelity Union. Although we worked in different sections of the Audit Department, I often worked in Newark. When I did, we would usually eat lunch together. I was happy for him when he retired and I hope his retirment years were enjoyable ones. I am sure he is enjoying his heavenly reward now.

I'm so sad to read of Ed's passing. As his neighbor for two years in Hackettstown, I have to say the he was one of the nicest and funniest people that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Having just moved a few weeks ago to the other side of town and having visited about a week ago, I was very happy to see him still in the brightest of moods when I visited. Condolences to his family.

I live right across from Edward and saw him just about every day for the past 5 years. He always had the ability to make me laugh and put a smile on my face...He was such a nice person and quite a character! I am so sad that he passed away and my sincerest condolences to his family. Kim Topping
