My deepest sympathy to Ed's family. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Ed and I went to grade school together at St. Titus School in Aliquippa. He went on to St. Veronica's and I went to Mt. Gallitzin. We both ended up at Quigley High School for our senior year - the first graduating class in 1968 - when St. Veronica's and Mt. Gallitzin combined to form Quigley. I saw Ed at our 50th class reunion and it was so nice to talk to him again. He was always so friendly and just a stand-up guy. Always smiling. May he rest in peace. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
