Condolence: I remember "Eddie" and "Billy as the big cousins with whom we visited, from time to time. We visited both at our home and and Uncle Ed and Aunt Norma's, in New York. Lots of fond memories there. Please contact me via email, as I would love to make contact with his family again.

Condolence: Karen and family I am so sorry to hear of Edds passing. I remember when he came to Eastwood High. They where the most amazing four years at school. Edd was well liked by all. Your and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. R.I.P. my class mate.

Condolence: Today I heard of Ed's passing and I am greatly saddened. Although I have only know him for a short time, he was a pretty "special guest" at Target and will be greatly missed! Love & prayers to the whole family! Becky from Cicero Target

Condolence: Ed leaves us with some fond memories. Those years of girls softball... the fun weekend trips with the travel teams... and Liverpool's final four at Hofstra when Ed and Amy's car broke down before we even left the county but, we got there and had a great time. Our condolences to Karen, Amy, Meghan, and family.

Condolence: Dear Karen, Amy, Meghan, Marlon & family, An Old Irish Blessing: May your memories soothe your sorrows! Eddie will be missed by all of us but don’t worry my parents will show him the ropes up there! Love Rose, Joe, Sean & Bailey

Condolence: Our deepest sympathy to you Karen and family...Edd coached our youngest daughter, Courtney, in the Sidewinders...he was a great coach, but most especially a kind man. We were fortunate to have him help us with our siding, our windows, always giving us his FOE (friend of Edd) quote. Most recently...he came up to me at Wegman's and asked if I remembered him...at first I didn't but when he told me, I said "YES!" Although he was much thinner, his eyes still had their kindness...even going out of his way to come up to me to greet me. So know that you are all in our prayers for the loss of this kind man...I bet he and my husband Paul will be coaching from heaven. With continued prayers, Carleen Smith & Courtney Smith Sprague

Condolence: Karen, My prayers are with you and your family. May Ed RIP Patti

Condolence: Hi Karen, I am truly saddened by your loss as well shared by many I am sure. You and only met a few times while on my work trips to Syracuse every week back in the 60's and 70's. Eddie was so highly revered by so many of us in Colonie. Baseball, Football, bowling or just hanging out. We called him "the barrel", as you may recall. He was strong as an ox. He stuck up for everyone around him. I will always remember him as one of the most special people in my life.

Condolence: Karen, Jean and I are sad to hear of Edd’s passing. Edd was a great teammate and friend. May God bless you and be with you during your time of grieving

Condolence: Whenever I think of King, I think of times at the lake, Camping at St.Lawrence, or a family dinner. King and his family are the type of people that make you feel like their family and that is a very powerful thing. Thanks for all the good times and making me feel welcome, King. You hold a place in my heart. Amy, Marlon and Karen I send all my love to help comfort you at this difficult time. Annie Button

Condolence: Eddie will be sorely missed. He was the “it guy” in school.. funny, always a gentleman, handsome, kind and all the girls adored him. The last time I saw Ed was at Colonie Central’s 50th reunion..he hadn’t changed a bit and we had a delightful time. Words cannot help with your pain. Please know Ed was a beautiful soul who touched many hearts. May God Bless you and your family and Grant you Peace.
