Dear Michele, Kenny & Ed,
What very sad news. My heart goes out to you thinking of your great loss.
Uncle Eddie. Uncle of magic tricks. Quick-to-laugh Uncle. At-ease around children Uncle. Tatooed Uncle. Playful Uncle. Artist Uncle. Gardener Uncle. Uncle of surprises.
His was a warm, bright light and I feel grateful for the moments I felt it shine.
I wish each of you solace and send you love.
In sweet remembrance,
Maureen

Dear Michelle, Eddie and Kenny,
Our thoughts are with you and your entire family today, as you go through the very difficult and sad ritual of burial of your father. Uncle Eddie has a warm place in my heart and his memory will always bring a smile to my face and to those of the entire Kalish family. I wish you solace and comfort in knowing that his kindness and spirit will live on in many ways, not the least of which is through each of you. Some years ago, Uncle Eddie lovingly grafted five arborvitae plants from his shrubs in Pringle for Steve and me to plant on our property in CT; they continue to grow and flourish as they provide shade and shelter to the rabbits, birds, and other small creatures of our world.
Peace and love,
Your Cousin, Min

Please know that my prayers are with you at this time. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather & uncle.
I can still remember his similing face. The grandkids will always treasure the personal visits from Santa at Christmas. Yours is a loving family. He is truly in Heaven where I'll bet everybody wins at golf. Love
Your cousin, Audrey
