We are very sad to hear of the loss of a very special person. I looked forward to
my meetings with Ed. He always had a great story (or few) to tell with a devilish twinkle in his eye. I will miss you Ed!

Dear Gail
and Family,
I had the privilege to get to know and work with Ed at Ahold. Working with Ed one quickly discovered
how much he knew, but also delivered information with wit, wisdom and made our work efforts so much fun, what a gracious
man, always had time to share knowledge. He will be terribly missed. There are few people who combine all those talents.
My thoughts are with all of you.
Joan Sisserian, IRI Group
