I am sad to hear the passing of Ed. He was the grandfather to my sons and he loved being a grandfather. I knew Ed for many years and he always had the same joke to tell but it would change yearly just as he was going to spend a summer in Wells Maine. I have lots of great memories of Ed and just not enough space in this post to list them all. My condolences to the Hession family, RIP Ed.
Great guy. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. ❤️
My sincere condolences to Mary and the entire Hession family. I have the fondest memories of Buddy, having spent so much time in their home with my dear lifetime friend, Maureen. May he rest in peace. Sincerely, Jane (Teague) Coutu
