    Ed and I were partners while detectives in the Suffolk County PD. Great partner and an even better man, we have many memories between us. Will be solely missed and all though we talked on the phone will always regret not making the trip down to see him. Hall Coleman

    It was eleven years ago when Ed started working at Leith Toyota. He was eighty years young, full of stamina with great work integrity. Working together we got to know each other well and often talking about our families and our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is going to be missed. Luciano
