Nobody could be tense with Ed around!

from
"The Parting Glass"
(a traditional Irish Folksong)

"Of all the money e're I had, 
I spent it in good company.

And all the harm that ever I've done,
alas it was to none but me.

And all I've done for want of wit,
 to mem'ry now I can't recall;

So fill to me the parting glass...
"Goodnight and joy be with you all."

 "Of all the comrades e're I had, 
they're sorry for my going away.

And of the sweetheart that I had,
she wish's one more day I'd stay.

But since it falls unto my lot,
that I should rise and you should not,

I gently rise and softly call... 

"Goodnight and joy be with you all."

The Boat

More than a wife... a lifelong friend and buddy. They shared every love, pain, sorrow and joy.  

Sandra on the stage during the ceremony.

Sharing a quiet moment in Hawaii just after the earthquake.

Also, vintage Ed... no shirt, shorts and hat. This is his day in the sun.

Daryl said, "I miss my retirement buddy." ... as do we all.

Ed in a suit... what a concept! He cleaned up really well but was never comfortable in this getup.

We remember him with camera, shorts and a smile... "Ah, Yes... "

Silverstein on the hunt for something... he was always curious about everything.

Ah, yes... trekking around town, 
across bridges and up and 
down hills. 

Even at his most shy and retiring, Ed cut a figure of sartorial excellence.

"Edward Silverstein, we miss you every day 
and we're glad we had the chance 
to know you."
