Ed will certainly be missed by most if not all that knew him. I have had many experiences working with Ed for the funeral home as well as with my computer business and I can say I don't think I have met a kinder, more jovial man.

On the job Ed was very serious and it was always clear why families chose him in their time of need, because he truly cared for them.

Saying Ed will be missed seems like quite an understatement.

The Fitzgerald Family,
Ron, Kelley, Jade & Seven

Ed's passing came as such a shook. We had hoped, with all our hearts, that it wasn't true. Ed was a wonderful man in every way. From the first moment we met him, we called him our friend. Although he was soft spoken, his words were heard loud and clear. He always seemed to know just the right thing to say. We have known and loved Ed for many years and will greatly miss him. All our prayers are with the family. If there is anything we can do to help, just let us know. Pat, P. J., and Casey

To Ed's entire family,
We offer you all of our love and sympathy. There just aren't enough words to express our shock and sadness. Our families have always been close in this difficult business and Ed was always so eager to help, yet humble about his constant striving to help everyone better. He was an inspiration to me in many ways and will never be forgotten. Our vacation to the White Mountains every August always included a stop in North Woodstock for a great visit with Ed, and we are truly thankful for knowing and loving a wonderful man and true gentleman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am in Georgia as my mother has been in the hospital here. I am deeply saddened by Ed's passing. I will be returning to NH and hope that I am able to join in the services on Thursday.

My sympathy to Jane and her daughters and family members. Ed was a wonderful human being with a big heart. He was there for my mother, dad and recently my brother Phil Atwood. I was always remember his kindness and gentle heart. Ed had a way of making you feel like family; he was a caring and loving person. I can not say enough about him. May you rest in peace Ed, I will remember you always.

It's never easy for those left behind but when you lose someone so senselessly and unexpectedly, we all feel the shock...

May it help to know how many people share your sorrow and stand with you in your time of need...

Dear Jane and Family,
Ed was a wonderful, kind soul and will always be remembered in that light. The entire community lost a loved one when we lost Ed. Please know that we are all here for you Jane...

Our Deepest Condolences,
Kate and Dan Stinnett

He was such a wonderful and caring man. He would always make you feel he cared deeply in your time of sorrowl I will miss having him greet us at the door. Thanks for the help he gave to my family. He will be missed.

When you left this world behind
We lost a man - gentle and kind.

People came from far and wide
To be by your family’s side.

With wishful eyes, they looked for you at the door
After all, that is where you always were before.

But at last, you were not there
This was so very unfair.

Your time with us was way to brief.
You lived your life easing our grief.

Here we stood in front of your family not knowing what say,
For you had been the one to show us the way.

You were the one to help us when someone died,
You let us share stories with you while we cried,

What could we do to show your family how much we appreciated you?
What could we do to show them how much we truly loved you?

Not to fear, your family did you proud.
They stood in your place and greeted the crowd.

As each person passed by,
One by one to say a final good bye,

One common emotion expressed,
To know you was to be blessed.

Dear Jane and Family,

The last time I saw Ed was the Saturday before Mother's Day, he was coming up my walkway, smiling holding the most beautiful vase of flowers that my sister sent me for Mother's Day. We joked about delivering flowers with the "White Van" I suggested getting something to put on the van so neighbors would know he was wearing his flower delivery hat. I got a big hug and a happy Mother's Day. He was a good friend and important part of this community. I will miss him terrible and always keep that smile and gentleness in my heart.
Thank you for sharing him with us we are all truly blessed. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ed my friend, was great to work for, and I am honored to have know him and feel I am a better person having spent time with him. A genuine gentleman. He truly cared for people and tried to ease their hurt in their time of sorrow.

I came to know Ed only in recent years. My loss! However, a year ago at this time Ed handled the service for my son and I got to truly know the character of this man. He was kind, caring, sincere, empathetic and genuine through and through. You just couldn't possibly ask for a nicer person. I remember how happy he was when his wedding anniversary arrived. He was happy to tell about it. Ed and I had spoken just the week before he died. I find it so hard to believe he is no longer here on earth. My deepest sympathies to all his family and to all who feel his loss.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU TODAY. I MISS SENDING YOU E-MAILS AND SEEING YOU WHEN I GO TO THE BANK. I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU OVER THE HOLIDAYS, TOO. I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TO TODAY. IT MADE ME FEEL BETTER.
