Tillie, So sorry to hear of Eddie's death. When I told my children they all said they remembered him when he drove the school bus. I know he had a love of stamp collecting. We were discussing it one day and my co-worker mentioned that her son collected stamps. Being the nice person he was, the next day Eddie came into the office and brought some stamps for her son. From then on Eddie would always ask how he was doing with the stamp collection. He was a unique person and was always exact in the work he did. He certainly will be missed. You are in my families' prayers.
We are actually distant cousins with many of
the same ancestors....I have a fond memory of
traveling with Eddie and Kathleen Phelps up to Massachusetts and Vermont together for a day trip to cemeteries and the sites and dinner together........
Tilly,
Sorry to hear about the loss of Eddie.
We will never forget the genorosity an friendship that your family has shown to our family over the years.
You are in our prayers.

To Edward's sister:
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been hospitalized a great deal over the past few months and I did not know of your brother's passing until I just spoke with you, on the telephone. I apologize, for having to hang-up: I was simply overcome with shock and grief at your unhappy news. Forgive me.
Ed was a good and kind and decent man and a thoughtful student of local history. He has been my friend for a very long time. The world is a lesser place without him and even Heaven, itself, is improved by his presence, there.
I will think of your brother often and foremost among my thoughts will repeatedly be Ed's gentle humor and his kindness and courtesy to all with whom he came into contact. The world could use a lot more people like Ed Festi. None of us is without faults and Ed was always aware of his own and willing to admit to them. That fact, alone, made him a special man, indeed.
Again, I am so very sorry, for your loss.
Most Sincerely,
Joe Russell
Monson, Mass.
