RIP Ed, the Class of 1960 Triton High School sends its prayers to your family.
Thinking back to our "preteen" days and how much of a friend you were then. Sure could throw a baseball with that sidearm delivery of yours. Throughout your life, one of the kindest, nicest people that I had ever known.hope to see you in the new life someday. Maybe we can have a catch or play some wiffle ball like old times.
Fran & Ronnie
Those we hold in our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they showed, the comfort they shared, and the love they brought into our lives.
Thinking of you and keeping you and your family in our prayers.
Love The Passanante Family
I miss you like crazy! You were the one true friend in my life and I've grown to love you. We've had many talks and walks. I could talk to you about anything. I miss our walks down by the river. It was your favorite place to go. You always had a smile on your face and stories to tell. Thank you for always being there. I'll never forget you. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
I Miss you already, our weekly phone calls, your visits, all our family memories, our camping trip. Our many nights at the fire station with all the guys and gals of Station 75. You were not my blood brother, but as far as we were concerned we were BROTHERS. Rest In Peace Brother, you will always be in my heart, never to be forgotten. Love You My Friend.
Blessings 🙏🏼 Runnemede friend
