As a young boy, Edward joined the Chicago Paulist Boys Choir under Rev. Eugene O’Malley and continued participation in the Paulist Choir Alumni Chorale.

As a Dominican, one of his assignments was the Aquinas Newman Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He later chose  to follow his new calling in marriage.

Edward’s simple pleasures in life were visiting with family, sharing good food and drink, walking his dogs, and love for reading and reflection of God’s many gifts. Our family feels Edward was our gift from God.

To continue Edward’s generous spirit donations to your charity of choice in supporting poor, homeless and hungry would continue his legacy of giving to those in need.
