My prayers and thoughts go out to the entire Delisle family. We were friends years ago when Ed was a Ridgefield police officer and I worked for CL&P. On Sundays we would watch football games together when we were not working. He was one of the nicest men I knew, we lived less than 2 miles away. God Bless you Ed for all your services. God bless your family. You will be missed.
