So sorry to read that Ed had passed away. He was a wonderful guy to work with at CL&P. Our sincere condolences to his wife Susan and family.

Dear Mrs. Dabkowski, John, Jane and family,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your husband and Dad. Growing up almost across from your family on Market Street back in the 70s and 80s I recall him being a quiet, hard-working family man. I also recall his fondness for woodworking. It's been many years since seeing any of you, but the memories I have of your family, and I trust as well yours for Mr. D., will be held close to your hearts always. Love always,
Bob Nadolny

Sorry to hear of Ed's passing. We will miss a dear friend of ours for many years. Many good memories we have and the one that stands out in our minds was the trip to Hawaii 8 of us took. We had a great time with them and the many times we went out to dinner on our anniversary with them. We will indeed miss a true friend. Rest in peace Eddie.
