My heart is so sad thinking of Eddie. I can only keep all the good times we had over the years to remind me of what a great person he was. Great sense of humor. He was very quick with a good comeback. Loved hearing about his fishing trips, the kids, the dog. I hope you are catching some monster fish up there. Love you ❤️

My condolences to Ed’s family. We were classmates in high school and had some good times together. I hadn’t seen Ed for 35+ years until he came to my workplace one day. We immediately recognized each other, it was so good to see a fellow classmate after all that time. Rest well Ed, NHS Class of 83 has lost a good guy.

Ed was an exemplary member of our 1983 Vocational Graphics (Millpond Graphics) Program at Nashua High School. He was always interested in learning and helpful to his fellow classmates. Funny and pleasant at all times – an absolute wonderful human being. Condolences to Ed’s family, friends and work colleagues. They say “ there’s a reason for everything”! This is another one with no answer!! Rest in peace Ed!! The Good Lord must have been in need a good person!!

Armand, thank you for your kind words. Over the years Ed always spoke highly of you and would fondly recall his graphic program days at Nashua High. Obviously you had a major impact on him as he went on to college and had a successful career in the industry.

My sincerest condolences to Ed’s friends and family. I had the pleasure of knowing Ed during high school and college, and back then he was a kind, decent person. We worked together at Millpond Graphics for a few summers, and was always giving of his time for new people coming up through the ranks. Sad to see someone loved go so soon.

Ed and I have never met but my daughter Emily worked with Ed at his “making a little spending money” second Job. Ed and Emily became good friends even though there was quite an age gap. Emily told us funny stories Ed shared with her and made us laugh when he tried to get her to not be so terrified of spiders. As her mom, I cannot express my gratitude that he walked her out to her car at night and would check in on her when they were working in a big building. Emily appreciated listening to him whistling and to him singing along to his music while they worked. He gave her good Dad type advice and truly cared about what was going on in her life. Emily is heartbroken, I am sorry I never got the chance to meet Ed, to shake his hand and thank him for befriending my daughter. My heartfelt condolences to his family. I find myself missing a man I never met.

Ed was such an incredible guy, the most selfless man you’d ever meet. I am so fortunate to have gotten the chance to work along side him at our part time job at ABS cleaning company for the around 1.5 years he was there. He quickly became one of my best friends as we worked very closely cleaning together. He always had my back and I always had his. I will miss the fun stores of his fishing trips and the stories from his youth he used to tell me and all of the great life advice he had for me. Now who’s going to kill the spiders for me Ed? I have never had anyone in my life that I wasn’t related to care as much about me, my career, education and personal life as much as Ed did. He was the most caring man I have ever met. Ed never failed to put a smile on my face and make me feel so loved and thought about. I can’t imagine going into work and not seeing his contagious light there anymore. I will get those good grade, graduate from UNH and get a job I love like you always encouraged me to do. I promise you. Rest easily Ed, until we meet again❤️
