We thouroughly enjoyed Ed`s company. We`d call him Edwardo and he always had a joke or two to tell. We sometimes saw a serious side to him, which was rare, but when he was it was about his youth and his wife, which in his eyes we could see how much he missed her. Edwardo will be sadly missed by our family, but when our eyes fill up with tears for him, it will be of joy, because he will be in the arms of his wife, Pat. - Posted by: Darlene Martens (Tina Chubaty`s daughter) on: Apr 08, 2013
