I cherish many fond memories of Ed at Marquette U. & APO. He continued to live a life of service & made a difference! AMDG

Thank you for all the great memories. It was an honor to get to know such a wonderful man and his entire family and thanks for making us fell like we were part of a bigger family. Love to you all.

May Ed's memory live forever in the hearts and minds of those that had the profound opportunity to participate in the greatest celebration of Irish culture and music in the world, Milwaukee Irishfest! My heartfelt thanks and gratitude for my opportunity!

Dear Ed, We are all so grateful for your kindness, generosity, and friendship over these many decades -- next year will be the 40th anniversary of Irish Fest. We will miss you -- We love you, man.

Only a small token for our admiration of a true heavyweight, first class all the way.

Wishing you the best, Ed. Yesterday, I finished my radiation treatments for prostate cancer at the U of Iowa and the doc is pleased with my progress. Thanks for your guidance and love to you and your family. Dick Murphy, Thailand XXI.

Big hugs to you, Ed, from the 'County Bronx'! So grateful to share how much you mean to so many of us. Thank you for sharing your hearty laughs, friendship, guidance, passion and your incredible life's journey. You are such a blessing, Ed xxooo

With love

Ed, this is a marvelous testimony to your many gifts to your heritage and to Milwaukee. Your work has been a blessing to so many. May we all treasure this gift of history and love. We are all so fortunate to know and love you, Ed.
