I’ve known Ed for over 30 years and always enjoyed talking with him at family functions. He was a great husband, father, and grandfather and I will miss him very much.
It was my privilege to know him over 15 years and an honor to marry his daughter Tina.
I will always remember him as a rock solid Family Man, a great Human Being, and a truly kind and generous Soul. It really is a lesser place without him…
Deas Susan and everyone else. Cat and I send our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to you all. We have loved and admired Ed from the time we met him in the early 90’s and although we are far away now we are with you all in spirit. Ed was a gentle soul who was so generous of his time to both Messiah As well as Erna’s Hope. We have and will always remember him for his zest for life and the love he had for Susan his family and his many, many friends.
Love you all Scotty and Cat

I am so fortunate to have been able to enjoy my friendship with Ed over the years. He will be missed immensely by many people.
To the Orlando Family,
Jim and I are so sorry to read of Ed’s passing. He was one of the nicest and friendliest people at the church. We are going to miss seeing Ed as an usher especially during the holidays.
Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family!
Best regards,
Jim and Sharon Ludlow
Oh dear Sue. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this in the paper. I’m so very sorry for your loss of Ed. He was a fighter, even when it was hard for him on the golf course he was out there trying. That was inspirational. And Sue, you were always there”keep your head down “. I hope he and Brian are playing golf and parring every hole in heaven. You are in my prayers Sue.
Love you

My condolences to the Orlando Family. I worked with Ed at B&L in the Mainframe Environment, and later within the Records Management function. Ed was a man who “went to bat” for his direct reports to ensure they were recognized for their contributions at a corporate level, you couldn’t ask for a better Manager. He spoke of his family often, and understood the human side of business, and the importance of family in a successful career.
Dont know how many years I have known Ed, But myself and family wont forget all the fun times at Hickory Hill camping. We were so blessed to have know him.
Sorry for your Loss, But I can tell you Ed will never be forgotten.
God Bless to the who Family.

So so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and love are with you.
Dear Sue, it’s been many, many years since we last saw each other. Regretfully, we just drifted apart with the busy time of our young families. I have thought about you both over the years.
My sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family. I lost my beloved Ron to cancer in 2015. We are both blessed with wonderful family to keep us strong. May God keep you in the palm of his hand.
Ed was a wonderful man and will be missed. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family.
Chris, Lisa, Natalie and Catie Ginther
You will be remembered by the Congregation and all the children at Messiah for your dedicated service for all these years. Rest in peace, Ed.
My deepest condolences to Ed’s family. He will be missed by so many on so many different levels. My association with Ed was through his extremely generous and dedicated help with the Thanksgiving Basket Program sponsored by the Greece Eucumenical Food Shelf. Year after year, Ed gathered his fellow parishioners together to provide holiday dinners for up to 50 families. His patience and loving concern was so very evident in all he did. He has surely left his mark on our Greece community.
