My condolences to Ed's family on the loss of their husband, grandfather and father-in-law. Ed was a mentor in the grocery business and friend. His legacy will live on in his grandchildren. - Posted by: Barbara Maguire (Friend) on: Feb 18, 2012

I remember Edward, or Eddie as I knew him, from when I was a child and he worked as a butcher at my father's grocery store, Serv-Well Supermarkets. He was so kind. He always had a big smile on his face, and would give me a candy or other treat when I would come to say hi to him behind the butcher counter. I know that my father valued him very much as an employee. I hope that you find some comfort at this time by all the good memories that you have, and knowing how many lives he touched. - Posted by: Leslie Kaufman () on: Feb 18, 2012
