I love and miss you Dad.
Ed was a good friend and companion all through our long career at Boeing. He taught me a lot about facing cancer with dignity. He kept his sense of humor and was a good example to those who cared for him. He will be missed.
Gayle & Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing he is now in a better place free from pain and cling to all of your wonderful memories of him. Love, Your cousin Barb
Even when dad was feeling his worst he never lost his sense of humor. He always found a way to play a joke on me and bring a smile to my face. I will miss him always and love him forever.
I love you and I will always remember you Grandpa
Gail, I have to say that Ed was one of the nicest people I met at Boeing I always saw a smile on his face and he could always put a smile on my face. I am grateful that I had a chance to know Ed. He will be missed by plenty of people. My whises and prayers are with you and your family.
gayle,so sorry to hear about ed,wish i could be there with you but i can’t. you and ed were the best people i got to work with,i know that i have not seen either of you since i left boing but i have not forgotten either of you. your friend wynn.
Ed was like a father to me and the best darn neighbor anyone could ask for. He was always watching over us throughout the many years we had the pleasure or living across the street from the Stein family. He even taught me how to play a mean game of pool which will always remind me of him especially when I make a good bank shot. My regret now is the I was not able to come visit Ed before his passing and let him know how much he meant to me as I had planned. At least I have the comfort of knowing the he knew that I did call a few times and that I deeply cared! I loved you like a father Mr. Stein and my visits home won’t be the same without you there!!
Gayle, Patti, Jolene, and families, Our deepest sympathy to all of you. What a beautiful service for Ed. You all did such a great job taking care of him. You know the meaning of family. We love you lots and are here to help you in the days ahead. Love, Gary & Alice
