My deepest sympathies and prayers to Ed's family and friends. Ed was such a wonderful person and a great Art Therapist. His ability to work with patients was somewhat magical. He could get patients to open up, create and grow with his therapeutic techniques. It always amazed me the art work that was created and I always enjoyed seeing the art down the halls in the Campanella Building. RIP Ed.
To Ed's family. What can I say about Ed that we all don't already know. He was a creator, a friend, a father and a husband. Ed would always welcome you with open arms and a cup of tea. Visiting his art studio at Crownsville and Perkins was always a treat. Patients loved having Ed as an instructor. They not only learned about art but about music and life it's self. I will miss his "oh Geezs" and his quirky laugh. I am lucky to have the Sunflower paintings he did for me at Perkins, as a beautiful memory. Love ya Ed!
Dear Daniel and Ed's family. I am so sorry for your loss. Ed was a wonderful man with so much love for life, the natural world, and the many patients he helped heal using art as well as other forms of artistic expression. His art therapy studio was always open, with terrific music being played while patients ( and sometimes staff, too) were creating amazing pieces of art inspired by Ed's thoughtful approach to what each patient needed. Sending comfort to you all during this time of sadness.
