I am sorry to hear of Ed's death. My sympathhy goes to his whole family.  I remember him from Central High and what a nice a person he was. We must have been at Hallen school together in Kindergarten as well. May your grief pass and your love and good memories grow. 

With sincere sympathy,

Diane Dillman

I agree with all the fine comments made in the passing of our classmate Edward, He was certainly somethig quietly special....destined for a future able to deal with situations requirung sensitivity and the ability to be a good listener. I remember him most for these qualities. Does anyone know if he came to Central with the Trumbull group? I believe he did not,..was one of the Bridgeport regulars. I took me a moment to remember him....but when I did got a very good, clear memory of a very sharp, quiet person. Will miss him along with the others that have gone before.

Pat, I met Ed at a DeMolay dance in our sophmore year along with Jerry Feinstein and Roy Levine (my future husband). We hung out together until graduation and then went our separate ways. Roy and I ended up in Colorado but did catch up again at the 50th reunion. He was a great guy and i feel privileged to have had him share part of my life. May your memories bring you peace and happiness.

 I was so sorry to learn of Ed’s Passing.  I remember him as a warm and friendly guy.  At the 55th reunion party I remember meeting him and he made me feel welcomed and he was so instrumental in coordinating the party.  He will be sorely missed and I extend my deepest sympathy to Pat his wife and family.😞

I am so deeply saddened at Ed's passing.  I had the pleasure of getting to work with and to know Ed and Pat over the past several years while planning our CHS events.  They both contributed so much to the success of our reunions and birthday parties.  I will miss Ed's friendship and am so grateful for the opportunity to know both Ed and Pat.  Ed, you will not be forgotten, rest in peace, my friend.
