Like Anne and Joe (and Laurie and Ed) I lived with Edwin on Robinson Street in Somerville back in the 1990s, and what fun we had. Five adults, strangers at first, living in a single household but each adding something special to the mix. Edwin was the elder statesman, the patriarch -- wise, compassionate, patient, funny, playful, thoughtful. What a lovely combination. We would sit in the kitchen and talk about politics, spiritual matters, food, art, travel, baseball and everything in between and how attentive and interested he always was. It's no wonder he chose to be a therapist; it was clearly part of his DNA. To say I will treasure his memory and miss him doesn't begin to express my feelings. He was a light and constant reminder there is good in the world and that more, possibly better, awaits us when we pass on. What gives me comfort is knowing he thoroughly enjoyed his time on planet Earth and brought happiness to so many. May he be at rest but, oh Lord, how he'll be missed......
