Sharon and family,
My deep sympathy and prayers for all the loving family and friends for your great loss.
Ed was a fascinating, earnest, and valuable co-worker and dear friend during our mutual time at the NYS Assembly. We shared a lot of laughs and the kind of serious chats about life and challenging circumstances that helped us value one another a lot. Ed let me sub for him as an instructor and then helped me to obtain an adjunct teaching position at UAlbany. I appreciated his trust in me as a co-worker and in that academic setting.
More significantly, in our many chats, I learned about his deep love for Sharon and his entire family and his strong faith. We occasionally discussed our shared Christian faith and I know Ed's was totally sincere.
