December 3, 2021 at 12:35 pmI am very saddened to hear of Ed’s passing. My sincere heart felt condolences to his entire family. I met Ed years ago at the Workout Club where is was a constant presence right up until a few weeks ago. I admired his perseverance in the recent months. He shared many loving family stories and I know how special you all were to him!! We swapped opinion’s on the latest Patriot’s games as he knew how much of a fan I was. He touched many lives. His friendly smile and personality will be sorely missed <3, but the memories that have been created will stay forever. Sending prayers to all of you!!

December 3, 2021 at 10:04 pmSending all of you my deepest sympathy at this sad time. I also knew Ed from the Workout Club. We had many conversations over the years about family, cooking and holiday favorites (kielbasa)…..we even swapped recipes. He set a fine example for all of us. Know that you are in my prayers.
