Beautiful person inside and out. Although my husband never met Ed – he felt he knew him through the wonderful pictures he frequently posted on Facebook.
I remember Ed well – the whole family as Lynn was my good friend. Rest in peace Ed.
To Tina and family,
We are so sad to hear of the loss of Ed. He helped us often with various projects, starting with a kitchen renovation and many other things. During the past 10 years, we became friends, often discussing his love of Hungary. Rest in peace Ed.
We are so sorry to learn of Ed’s passing – our family has a forever connection with you all, through our dad at George’s Kitchen. We cherish a lifetime of fond memories of his friendship with my dad, and Ed always had a twinkle in his eye and positive words when he would joke with us as kids. Keeping you all in our prayers – may Ed’s memory be eternal – with love, Angie (Cheronis) Turner and Jim Cheronis.
I am deeply saddened learning of the passing of Ed. Never forget the moment I met with him 29 years ago In Budapest. Once I moved to Warren he was my closest friend I could count on all the time and remained my dearest friend after I moved to Atlanta where he visited us regularly. He was a genuinely kind wonderful person full of love, fun stories and helping everyone always. He will be missed dearly.
I nice friend since high school. The monthly class breakfast will miss him dearly. Soo many fun memories. Piece be with you buddy.
