i am so sad to have lost my friend. He loved to drive and I’m glad I went with him on his rides a few times. He liked to reminisce about Mary on these rides. I know the shore was his favorite place especially for sleep (always said he slept great down there} He was a good guy 🙂 I won’t get teased on my birthday anymore ( you’ll always be older than me, he would say) i’m Feb he was April 1956. I’m heartbroken for his family and I will keep you all in my prayers. Rest easy Ed 🙁
So sorry to hear about your Dad Lynn. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family..
Love, Aunt Kathy & Uncle Bob
Great man , great father , great coworker and union brother RIP
Worked with Ed in years past. Ed was a good guy may he rest in peace. God bless him and his family.
Blessings to the Grasela family. You’re in my thoughts and prayers
A good man who will be missed by many, prayers for strength and comfort go to all family and friends
I deepest condolences to the family. I was Ed’s dispatcher for a while while he worked for Verizon as well as a coworker to his beloved daughter Lynn. He was a very nice man and will be missed by all that knew him.
Ed, we will miss you on LBI. 24th street will not be the same without you and Maryanne. You both were great friends, we had fun dinners and a cold drive to AC.
My Godfather, Cousin and Friend, the world will look different without you in it. May you rest in peace with Maryanne and all the Grasela family that has gone before. My deepest condolences to Betty, Kathleen, Lynn and Jennifer. On May 15th the world lost a great man! RIP and God Speed cousin.
We are so very sorry to hear the news of Ed’s passing! We both worked with Ed at Verizon. We just saw him about two years ago when he visited us at our home after not having seen him in so long since we had all retired. We will miss him dearly. He was a good friend and a good man. Our condolences to Lynn and all those who loved Ed. RIP, buddy.
Ed I am truly sorry to hear of your passing. I have always thought of your common sense and sense of humor. Will miss you Ed.
Mr. Grasela,
I can’t believe I was so afraid of you when I was a little kid. You are one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. I have so many memories of you and my mare mare that I will pass on to my my son. I find peace knowing you are with her again. I love you both and will never forget either of you, Roscoe will know all about the both of you I promise. Rest In Peace, I can’t believe you are gone on unexpectedly. Love you.
I remember our summer evenings, hanging out until the wee hours on the corner, acting crazy and oh, so young. Ed was always the mature one in our group. The old memories become so vivid for a short yime, when one of us parts. Then they become hazy again as daily life intrudes and steals them back. It’s a shame that memories can’t stay so close and real as they do at these sad times. Godspeed, Ed.
