    Lynnfield had a few good cops. Eddie was one of them.
    He peeled up a dymo tape on a VIN belonging to a Buick LaSabre , on Route 1 and opened Pandora’s Box.
    Sorry for your loss.

    I worked with Ed at SP Lynnfield. It was always good to know he was out there with you. He had enough energy for ten troopers. It was always a comfort to know no matter what happened he was there backing you up. Many great memories. RIP

    Very sorry to hear of the passing of Eddie. I had the pleasure of working with Ed when I came to SP Lynnfield directly after leaving the Academy. He was a great teacher and when it came to stolen cars with altered VIN, he and Richard Sarnie were two of the best on the State Police. RIP Ed
