Ed was a great benefit to the Oak Run community as he served as a member of the security force in the development. He had daily contact with the residents where he was respected, and loved. Many community members were shocked by his sudden death, and have stopped by to express their appreciation for all the care and assistance that Ed provided.
Father O’Doherty from Queen of Peace Catholic Church, conducted a service at the home prior to his passing with his siblings present. Ed requested no other services be provided but a celebration of life gathering at a later date.
Ed was a veteran who served with distinction in the U.S. Navy where he served on a nuclear submarine from 1969 – 1973.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Hospice of Marion County Florida.
