Ed, was a wonderful man. I have loved dealing with him on a day to day basis not only as a customer, but as my friend. I have many memories of Ed to hold on to and cherish for the rest of my days. He was a loving, kind and generous man whom I will greatly miss. He was truly one of a kind and it will not be the same without him. My prayers go out to the family, but now we have an extra angel to look after us.
I am deeply sad about the loss of my friend, Ed. I was very fortunate to know him for the past dozen years, or so. I looked forward to visits at his store – and I always left in a better mood after speaking with him. Ed was a genuine, sincere and caring person who will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family – who he proudly talked about every time we met.
Ed was one of the most friendly, compassionate, genuine, and generous people I have ever met. He would help anyone in any way he could. He was able to talk to anyone and everyone about any topic. Ed had many interests he was passionate about and enjoyed sharing his joy with others. He helped promote small businesses in the area and always had nice things to say about other local businesses and organizations. His smile and positive attitude were contagious. He truly was an amazing man and member of our community. Dale and I will miss him very much!
Ed was a great guy. He loved his family and friends. The 12 years that i have known him he has so caring to everyone. He always had the funnest jokes. He will be missed by so many people. He loved his work and loved talking about his cars he had or the cars he wanted. He will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. There is another angel up in heaven.
My heart is so heavy with the passing of my friend. I would so look forward to “bartering” a deal with Ed. His humor brightened my day. His easy going attitude always lightened my load. His candy dishes were always full. I could never leave the store without my free pen. I will pray to my friend now and keep him part of my life, and I pray for his family and their healing process.
there are only words of kindness i can tell you about ed he was a great friend and i will always remember the times we had some personal talks with me at the store. i meet alot of people everyday but ed was truly a man that i will never forget . gods blessing to your family.

DAD WHY DID YOU LEAVE US? I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
TO MY FATHER, BEST FRIEND, HERO, I’m not ready for goodbye,
Nor so long or see ya later.
Not ready for the end,
Not ready for this reality.
I’m not ready for this life,
one without you in it.
I’m not ready for your goodbye.
maybe someone else’s,
anyone else’s,
just not yours,
never ever yours.
Death doesn’t become of you,
It isn’t your best color,
So could they change the prognosis,
Tell me it was just a mistake,
Just another misdiagnosis.
Please remind me you are indestructible,
just like we always used to believe,
Tell me you are still my guardian,
And still going to be living.
Please tell me dad,
You will still always be my best friend.
Please tell me you will never leave me,
And you will be here till the end.
Tell me I’m having a nightmare,
And I will wake up in the morning,
With all these things being nothing but another forgotten dream.
Tell me you will always love me,
And stay with me,
My selfishness wants you to always stay by my side.
Knowing that you are going to be gone,
Won’t make your leaving any easier.
I love you do much dad,
Infinity and Beyond.
Unfortunately, I have never actually met Ed Danetz. My relationship has been with his son Rich. I am Rich’s fiance’s sister Debbie. I have heard so many wonderful things about Mr. Dantez. He loved and supported his son Rich and Sandy in everything they did. Mr. Danetz treated my sister as a daughter and adored his granddaughter Angelina Grace (Rich and Sandy’s 4 year old daughter). I have heard from my sister and believe it or not, from Angelina, that Ed Dantez wast a wonderful man/Granddad. Rich (Sandy and Angeline) and Peggy, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Danetz, rest in peace and I promise I will be the best “sister” I can be to your loving son, Rich.

I only recently met Ed.I delivered the carpeting to his store 3 or 4 times.He always helped me unload the truck.And we always had a good conversation while doing it.And when we finished he would offer me a soda.He seemed like the type of guy who you could have a few beers with,like the neighbor you would help with some project around the house.I hardly knew him.But I feel that Ed and I will be linked for eternity.I am so sorry for your loss.I wish I could have done more.My deepest sympathy to all of you who knew and loved him.God bless us all.
I had purchased flooring from Ed that was due to be installed two days after he passed away. I would’ve certainly been understanding if things did not proceed as planned, however despite what must’ve been such sudden and overwhelming sorrow, we were taken care of just like we have always been when we dealt with Ed. Since our first purchase from him years ago, we have never bought flooring from anyone else. He was honest, genuine, likable and quite funny. It has been such a pleasure doing business with him over the years. I cannot imagine the feeling of loss his family and friends are experiencing. I thank you for your conscientiousness in light of losing such wonderful, delightful guy. I have spoken to many others who feel the same way, I hope you take comfort in knowing the effect he had on those he met along the way.
We are saddened by Eds passing. He was a great guy. It was a pleasure doing business with him over the last 10 years. We will miss him. Our Condolences to the family. Chuck, Jerry, Toby and Debbie
