I’d like to send my sincere condolences to all Ed’s family and to let you know how sad I feel at his passing. I have been working with Ed for the past 2 years at Barclays, we were in the same team. He was such a larger than life character and always made me laugh on the team meetings. He brought a smile to everyone’s face and it was such a pleasure working with him.
It was clear how much he valued his family and how much love he had for you all. The police birthday drive by was an amazing story, it seemed that bringing happiness to his loved ones is what made him happy.
I will miss him and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers for a long time to come. Xx

Wow, the next time I saw Ed I thought I’d be saying Hello, not goodbye! I’ve known Ed for many, many years and we spent countless days and nights hanging out together. Besides the handball court, we’ve shared so many laughs and great times. He has always been a good friend to me even though he moved hours away. I will miss him and his dry sense of humor. Most importantly, I know he knew the Lord and believe he is in His presence forevermore. I love you Eddie. Rest in eternal peace my friend.

Our deepest condolences to everyone. Wish god could have given him more time so that we could have gotten to know each other better, the moments that we did spend, we would have really been like brothers. RIP my friend.

In a lifetime, people come and go . Some leave, some stay, some become friends and some become more than friends, they become brothers, and that was Ed to me! Together we acted silly, stupid, goofy, but by doing so, we had the best unforgettable times and till this day I can’t remember one bad time . A beautiful human being , husband, father, grandfather, friend , MY BROTHER! Till we meet again….

Ed was one of the nicest and kindest people i knew. He wasn’t just a coworker but also a friend. Someone I could just pick up the phone or text and joke with. His personality would lightened up a room! I’m going to miss him greatly but i also know he is home with the Lord. I’m grateful to have met Ed and had this time to get to know him.

You are and always will be my big brother, my protector, my 1st best friend, my childhood, my family. I have no idea how I will heal from letting you go. I know you are in the presence of The Almighty and that gives me some comfort! I will lock you tightly in my heart! The memories and fun times I will relive in my mind! Your sarcasm & funny sense of humor will be missed so much! I could always count on you to be in my corner without me asking.
Te amare siempre mi negro lindo!
I will love you always and forever!!

Rest in peace my friend. I have known Ed since he joined Barclays in 2013. He was a great person to work with. He had a big heart and a big personality to go with it. You always knew when Ed was in the room. My heartfelt condolences to Ed’s loved ones on your loss.

I knew Ed for many years. He always welcomed me into his home. His home was always filled with laughter and love. I can’t remember a time that I did not see him with his granddaughter and his soulmate. It’s truly unfortunate that he is gone and they are left to mourn this great man. My prayers are with them in this time. RIP my friend.

Sorry for taking this long to post. Honestly didn’t even know i could do this. At one point in my life nothing made sense. I couldnt have cared less if it all ended well or horribly. My step grandfather eddy changed that. He would always help out when he could and it left more of an impression than i thought it did. My only regret is that i didnt do enough to return the favor. After hearing so many of his stories in our car rides up to wilmington in the morning i realised just how great he was to everyone and me, even though i knew it wouldn’t last forever. Im glad he’s at peace with god now. Even after his passing its impossible to forget such a man. I love you step grandad. Hopefully I’ll get to see you in the next life, and share you some of my stories.
