    I was a student of Ed’s in printing shop at Revere High 1970’s. Great guy! Last time I seen him was February, 2014 in the hallway of the Mass General. We laughed and reminisced about his boyhood being part of the “Vane Street Indians” where I grew up, too. Peace and strength to his family.

    I first met Ed in Peter Palladino’s coffee shop when a group of us started the Revere Historical Society. He was so supportive and thoughtful. He always spoke with me whenever we met and encouraged the group.
    I am sad to hear of his passing. He was a true part of the fabric of Revere. HIs legacy remains with all of us and urges us to do our best as well.
    Prayers for Ed and his family.
