To The Family of Ed:
We worked with Eddie for many years at Moore Special Tool. Our deepest sympathy to you at this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless
I have many fond memories of special times with “Apa”. When I was little he used to take me fishing and we entered many fishing contests. We went to “the club” several times a week to get our Shirley Temples and hang out to watch the boats.
Our frequent road trips to Florida were always a highlight of my summers.
My greatest joy was to see Apa and my daughter,Taelyn, together. They were best buddies. She quickly replaced me in the Florida trips.
I’ll miss you and will always love you.
Friends from the Pequonnock Yacht Club, sorry to hear of your loss.
Apa was such a wonderful and funny man. We shared such a special bond and I will always hold that close to my heart. I will cherish all of the many memories that we have shared together. My grandfather will be truly missed and never forgotten. Apa…thank you for all of the wonderful memories. I love you always.
Extending deepest sympathy for you in your loss.
May friends and family comfort you, faith uphold you, and loving memories help you smile again.
With Sincerest Sympathy

Apa was such a wonderful person – no one could make you laugh like he could. And he always had a great tune to whistle.
He gave great hugs. And he let you have ice cream before dinner!
Apa – you are missed already and you are forever loved.

A memory of grandpa is being a child and eating pickled herring and crackers a tradition kept through the years at Christmas and the pickled green tomatoes from the garden.
I am so glad that we got to spend time with you when you came to CT in June and that you met Zach.
You were loved and will be missed by many.
Love,
Mark, Lisa, and Zachary
Our hearts go out to you and the family.
To Mary and Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. It’s been a while, but I still think about our lunch group and the time we spent at Dictaphone.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
