We are very sorry for your loss . I believe i am a second cousin to Edward . I remember when I was young that he lived in Newark and played football at Newark High and my relatives said his nickname was Bushel because of his size. I believe I did see him one time when i was very young. I will say a prayer for him . Thomas A Machulski
