I am so grateful to have met Ed as a fellow parishioner at St. A’s and during my time on multiple Emmaus retreats. My fondest memories of Ed were singing alongside him with his unmistakable joy and infectious smile.
I had the pleasure of playing a role as him during one Emmaus retreat singing “This Little Light of Mine” during a video we shared with the entire community. It felt like a risk at the time, since I did not know Ed well beforehand, but afterward he shook my hand with a laugh. From there I had the pleasure of having multiple interactions with him in the future, all of which left me feeling better than I had before.
I’ll never forget his warmth and compassion for others along with his passion for his faith. He truly allowed Christ’s light to shine through him and is an inspiration to who met him.
May he rest in peace and God bless his family.
