Edmund’s legacy extended far beyond his impressive career as a VP banker at Citibank in New York. He fully embraced life outside the office, pursuing passions that brought him immense happiness. As an avid bowler and enthusiastic golfer, Edmund found joy and camaraderie in every game. His culinary talents were legendary, as he delighted family and friends with countless delicious meals, creating moments of comfort and celebration around the dinner table. Edmund treasured every opportunity to travel with his wife, Peggy and family, building memories that would last a lifetime. After retiring, Edmund discovered a love for cruise vacations with Peggy—together; they spent more days at sea than on land, finding pure joy in exploring new horizons. Cruising, alongside cherished time with loved ones and friends, was truly Edmund’s happy place.

We are deeply grateful to Edmund for embodying unwavering devotion as a husband, compassion as a brother and brother-in-law, and exceptional kindness as an uncle and granduncle. Edmund was a steadfast friend whose thoughtful presence brought warmth and generosity into every life he touched. His impact was truly profound, enriching the lives of loved ones and friends alike. As we bid him farewell, we find comfort in knowing that Edmund’s memory will live in the hearts of all who knew and cared for him. He will be dearly missed, and his legacy cherished for generations to come. Rest peacefully, Edmund—your spirit and kindness will forever be remembered.
