Survived by his wonderful goddaughter that is absolutely heartbroken. 40 years spent with a lovely man who took care of and taught me what I needed to know about life. We spent every Sunday in his last years just talking about the past and things going on in our everyday life. His smile was contagious. I will miss you so much Uncle Eddie. I will cherish our memories forever and ever. Until we meet again, rest in heavenly peace. Love you, Elizabeth
I worked at Harrington house for many years and knew Ed (and Florence). After I retired I would visit him every few weeks and after the “lockdown” I would send him silly cards to brighten his day. I will miss visiting with him. He was very special to me and I would like to pass my condolences on to his family.
