Michael and Family I was so saddened to hear of your Dad’s Passing He was such a lovely and kind man The Howie family sends you our love and Deepest Sympathy
I liked Ed. I didn’t know him well but we’d small talk at many of the house parties his sister in law would throw at her house in Canton over the years. He was a throwback to another, and better, era. He’d been through his share of emotional pain, losing loved ones and those close to him and weathered it and trudged on… The last time I saw him at his sister in laws wake he gave me a big bear hug because I hadn’t seen him in a couple of years. (This was completely out of character for Ed.) I said “we can’t get close, Covid” and he laughed and said “Who gives a blankety-blank” and then walked off to talk with others… That’s the last time I ran into Ed, just for a moment, giving me a bear hug. That’s how we should all part ways with each other.
Michael,
So sorry for your loss. Your Dad was such a kind and caring man. He is now with your Mom and John. May he forever rest in peace.

To the Quigley Family,
We are very sorry for the loss of Ed. We live directly behind him and Irene and they were wonderful neighbors. Our children loved seeing the dog Cocoa through the fence. We will miss seeing Ed walking Cocoa! Rest In Peace Ed and thank you for being the best neighbor anyone can ask for.
