I am so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing! I’ve known Ed since We were young and then got reacquainted with him when I found him living in the same building we moved my mom into in her later years. He was always fun to talk to and just a smart and interesting person! Condolences to all his family I’m sure you will miss him! I wish I could make the memorial but other commitments keep me from getting there! Sending love!

I first meet Ed almost 50 years ago I was 16 years old. And was in the hospital for surgery. He was an orderly and started talking to me when I graduated college I saw him again when I got a job in the hospital. We became like brothers to each other. We fished and camp together and he know my family like I knew his.
Rest In Peace my friend and keep a tight loop.
Love Joe symon and family

Saddened by this news of our friend from Rahway hospital . Eddie was a friend to me . He enjoyed good times and great food. The seafood buffet at The Manor and The Sweet Basil in Staten Island. I could still remember him wearing his Ralph Lauren navy blue long coat, when he came to parties and outings with the hospital . He always talked of his two beautiful Grandchildren . Yes he loved them very much. Mostly we will miss his laugh which we can all still hear and remember. God bless his soul God bless his family . May God give you strength during this time of sorrow .
