I was lucky to meet Ed and his beloved Rose in 1980. Over all of these years we remained in contact and I looked at them as another set of parents. Their faith in God and Ed's gentle demeanor and subdued humor endeared him to my heart. I have such fond memories of sitting with the two of them in their apartment and laughing and sharing stories. They always treated me like a daughter whenever they saw me. I am sending my sincerest condolences to the entire family. All of you hold a special place in my heart and I know that you are comforted by the fact that Ed and Rose are once again reunited to continue their incredible love story together in the heavens. The world was a better place having both of your parents in it. May you be comforted in the wonderful memories you built with them.
