Sue: Mike Vining told me late Friday afternoon of Ed’s sudden passing. I worked with him at Logan for 1yr. I took him with me to visit GE in Erie PA. He was kid in the candy store during plant tour. When I dropped him back home I got invited to go downstairs & see his display. I’ll forever remember the glint in his eyes that day. Good man. May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Susan,Sandra and Robyn ,
My deepest sympathy on your loss. My memories of Ed have been all humorous. He was alway funny and happy. I remember him coming over to visit my dad on several occasions. In fact I remember when he brought you over Susan to meet my dad. He was the life at weddings. I pray for your family during this difficult time.
Love, Nancy DeCredico Bundgus

I was so saddened to hear about Ed’s sudden passing. Although I only met him when Robyn and Dalton married a few short years ago, I will always remember the smile on his face when he danced the first dance with Robyn. Such a happy man who seemed to spread his love. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
