Lil, Mark & Lee. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. I knew Ed since my early days at NJ Bell and many years in Scout Troop 36 where he turned out dozens of Eagle Scouts including my son Joe. He and my other son Mike learned many good things from Bing. Those lessons carried on through their adulthood and they still recall the numerous fond memories of trips to Maine, NY State and others. A good man with a great legacy.

Mrs. Crosby, Mark, Leigh- so sorry to hear of your loss. I stopped by to visit with you Mr. Mrs. a couple of years ago as I was riding my bike through the old neighborhood. It was great to see them both and made me reminisce of all the back yard camp outs we had and things we shared growing up. And of course the Army/Navy rivalry that we created as our dad's served in both branches. Remember the good times. That's the way he would want it. God's peace be with you all.
