I just learned of Ed's passing and am so sad to learn this news. I worked with Ed for many years at CHOP - he was a gentleman and a mensch!

What can one say when a friend of a lifetime has passed over to that other good shore. Eddie was a warm, likeable and loving man. His intelligence, humor, integrity and insight into people, places and things was off the charts. Someday we will all go to that good shore and Ed will already have the music started for us. I love you Eddie. See you later, my good friend.

When I started at CHOP in the early 80's, Ed was part of the dynamic duo that supported care for my patients in the Intermediate Unit.. I can still remember seeing him walking down the hall to help and feeling a sense of relief. I am so glad that I was able to bump into him a few weeks ago to say hi and share smile. I am so sorry for the loss to his family and to us.
Like so many of you, I am in shock and disbelief. Such a great man taken too soon. I always thought I'd get more time to share laughs, dog stories (Ed taught me what it meant to be a dog dad!) and play music with Ed. We will miss you Ed ! RIP buddy !
Great loss to your family and friends. Praying for strength to you Eileen.
