Dear Carolann and Ed, We are so sorry to hear about Ed's passing. May God comfort you during this difficult time. I have many fond memories of Ed from St. Rose of Lima running the basketball floor - he was a great young man and we will pray for him and you and Raelyn. Mike and Doreen Struble

My heart is broken. One of the finest most respected boy in Colts Neck. Too many good times on the field, court, and life. Thank you for being such a great friend to my boys Dennis and Matthew. Our memories will always be cherished. You will always be Colts Neck Fast Eddie Farley. Watch over us Eddy.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Ed,Carol & Raelyn, With our deepest & most heartfelt condolences to you & your entire Family. We had such wonderful times at Ranney. Ashley was happy to remind me that Ed was the first boy who kissed her in Mrs. Pace’s class. Prayers Love & Hugs

Dear family, I didn't know your son but feel connected in that the angel of death took my cousin away in March 2019, also in his 20s. My message is simple, that one man alone is your consolation in this terrible time of grief, he is Jesus, he is the Son of God, and his Holy Spirit is here with us on earth seeing all things, knowing all things. His love is never ending. I pray that God is and will continue to do miraculous things in your lives and that you seek the counsel he so freely gives, especially through the word of the Bible. He has never failed you, and He never will. Do not fear the powers of darkness, for God is almighty. My prayer for strength and clarity and power to the family and friends of Edward's. In the mighty name of Jesus. Sarah, Marist College Class of 2015

I am so very sorry for your loss. Ed was a wonderful soul inside and out. I taught him English at RBC Junior Year and I will always remember his kind heart and friendly spirit. I remember calling the night before the final to let you know I made a mistake on one of his grades and he actually earned his exemption for the final. Both he and mom were one the phone and he was so ecstatic to hear the news. He had a wonderful enthusiasm and true love of life. He will be missed. My prayers are with your whole family!

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Ed IV. I have fond memories of coaching him in Little league and always remember him as a caring & respectful young man. From my family to yours, our utmost condolences.

I remember Ed's enthusiastic presence in the classroom and his friendly nature. I am sorry for your loss.

Ed was a student in my Environmental Science class and an enthusiastic volunteer with the Bluebird nest box project. He will always be fondly remembered,

Rest In Peace dear friend.

Ed was a great friend and special person. Anyone who knows his parents and his sister understands where he got his outstanding personality. He will be missed by many and I know his memory will live on for many years to come.
