Dear Annette & family, I am very sad to hear of Eds passing. I had been saving passwords and sudokos for him that I hadn’t yet dropped in to him. He will be happy with his Hawks doing so well. Won’t see you both out strolling anymore then. Take care of yourself xxx

So sad to hear of Ed’s passing. We especially remember his kindness in taking our Christopher to the Dumbalk School back in 1989 when he (Chris) and Kay were back home for a few months after her brother’s accident. He was a wonderful neighbour. Our condolences and best wishes to all the family. Kay (Joyce) and Paul Everett.

To Annette, Michael, Brendan & families, my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Ed. He was a true gentleman with a kind and beautiful soul. His strength, courage and determination to fight the beast was truly inspirational. He never let it beat him down and he was always willing to share his experience and his fears and I will be forever grateful for his vulnerability and honesty. Annette, it was an absolute privilege to care for Ed at Koorooman House, so thank you.
May you find comfort in all your beautiful memories.

Dear Annette & family, sending you our deepest condolences on Ed’s passing. We recall many happy days and nights spent in Ed’s company after basketball and football matches “back in the day”. He was a real gentleman and a great wit. Marge & Neil Arnup
