  25. Debra Vincelli on March 22, 2020 at 2:38 pm

    My heart goes out for Ed, his family and friends. This is just so hard to even believe and dosen’t seem real. The Lord has a place and calling for each and everyone of us and Ed is now with his Father. It was just like yesterday we just shared a lunch together. I have known Ed from a young boy and he was a friend to my brother David. I was lucky enough to be able to be part of his life. My sincere sympathy to all, my prayers and love are with you. Debi

    To Barb and the family of Ed, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this heartbreaking time. Ed was a great guy. He did have a heart of gold. He was smiling every single time I saw him. Always fun. The love that Barb and Ed shared was something you don’t see often. Barb know that he will never leave your side even though he is gone physically … It’s so hard to lose someone suddenly… God took an angel from earth… Love and condolences to you.



  30. Chuck & Katrina Swanger on March 22, 2020 at 8:05 pm

    Can not find the words to express our emotions of the unexpected sudden passing of Ed. When you were around Ed and his wife Barb, you always had a good and happy time. Lots of laughs and memories you just smile thinking back on it. And always looked forward to the next time you were to have that next gathering. Ed had such a kind heart. That’s what pulled you in to Barb’s world and life with Ed. His love for his wife was so noticed when talking with him or you saw it first hand in their presence. We were blessed to have gotten to meet Barb & Ed through my brother & fiancé . We are thankful to have been able to make some happy memories with Ed &Barb to look back at , and smile. You will be missed. Barb, you and Ed are in our thoughts and Prayers. love Chuck & Katrina Swanger. Also , Rose Barth.

    We were devastated when we read of Ed’s passing. Ed has been our heating technician for better than 20 years. He was a dedicated and knowledgeable technician. We always looked forward to his visits and enjoyed the time he spent at our home. When he did a job for us, we trusted that it was done correctly. He will be sadly missed by many.

    I was surprised and sad to hear about Ed’s passing. I saw him most recently at the Rochester Ski Club meeting in February, and had no idea he wasn’t completely healthy. His passing at such a young age is a real shame. Best Wishes to Barb.

  56. Anne & Erich Tausch on March 29, 2020 at 4:50 pm

    Barb, When I heard about Ed, I had to ask three times if I heard right. I am, we all are, simply shocked. I liked what was written above about Ed’s positive radiant energy. That is perfectly fitting for the both of you. I have this vivid image of you and Ed when Erich and I played a scramble together with you years ago. Ed had just chipped in. You ran to him without any warning and jumped into his arms. He had to very quickly throw his club down to catch you. It is one of the cutest things I have ever witnessed. Your immense love for each other was apparent to every person who met you both. We are so sorry for this tremendous loss. We love you. Anne and Erich Tausch



  57. Marilyn Rogowicz on March 30, 2020 at 12:59 am

    Dear Barb, I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Ed. His radiant smile will be a cherished memory to all of us in the RSC whose lives he touched. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Regards, Marilyn

    Dear Barb, sincere condolences on your unimaginable loss. You and Ed are treasured friends of our family. You were so good to our Mom and Dad and then Bernie during their illnesses. I will never forget that. I hope the gates of heaven accept takeout from Otto Tomattos. Tim Feldman



  59. Elise Kloesz on April 8, 2020 at 7:33 pm

    Miss you very much Ed. Every day there is a reminder of a good time we’ve had, your laugh, a joke, your smile. Your enthusiasm was infectious! You enjoyed life to the fullest! You cherished your family, friends and it definitely showed. Barb, it hurts that you going through this loss. You have experienced many emotions and that’s a reflection of all the good times and the amazing love you had for each other. Eddie is with you always, everywhere, but you now that. Gary are I are here for you always, day or night. Telling stories, reminiscing, laughing at the fun we all had keeps Eddie alive in all our hearts. We will bring him with us on all our future adventures. Rest in Peace dear friend.
