Ed, Today would have been your 75th birthday with me having had mine only 5 days ago on the 22nd. I miss you brother and may you continue to RIP, love you former college football teammate, Hilton

Tom Marshall was my husband who was the head football coach at CWPost. He and Ed stayed in touch through the years and he came to visit Tom in Lewes, Delaware. Tom had passed away when Ed came to see me to look for a place to live here in Lewes. He lived not far from me. He was such a great person and I think of him every time I drive by where he lived. I hope he and Tom are discussing football plays. May peace and love be with them both..

I was a classmate and a teammate of Ed for 4 years at C.W. Post and I have many fond memories of him. Over the years, every time I spoke to Ed or saw him it was always a special time. I miss you brother, ironically our birthday is only 5 days apart when we were born back in 1949. Rest in peace brother and I will end this by what you always said to me at the conclusion of our conversation "love you".

Its been four years since Eddie left us and I can honestly say there has not been any length of time that goes by before something occurs, a song a picture, or a group of people, that I remember Eddie and the things we did at Holy Cross, as roommates and team mate at CW Post. He is still alive and well in my mind and the days when I remember him I'm happier and remind me that my life is so much better knowing him. We had a blast.

We could all use a few hours with Sweens in these very difficult times! He would definitely find a way to cheer us up and make us laugh! Still miss him so frequently...have a lot of reminders of him around like some photos or gifts he gave us( a fancy wine opener ). Hope Shelley and kids are doing okay. Warm regards to all Ed's friends and family.

It's hard to believe its been two years Sweens.... Whenever a group of our friends get together, their are always fond memories and stories, you are never forgotten! I miss and love you buddy!

Sweens would light up at the opportunity to go fishing, always patient to catch a fish he would become a maestro at cooking it with what ever he had to work with at the moment. It would always be, "pretty good right, not bad..." I miss those days when he could make a great day just happen.

It is impossible to condense 58 years of friendship into a short tribute.There was no better friend then Sweens ! As one of my friends said "...the people you introduced Ed to liked him as much as you did! " I just wish I could spend one more weekend with him or even one more phone call with each of us ending the call with telling the other " love you!" You will be with me forever Sweens...thanks for all the great memories !!

I wish I had just one more time with Ed to tell him how proud we are of him. He was such a humble, generous soul. We had no idea the impact he had on so many until the tributes came pouring in after his passing. To us he was a lovable, funny, dependable brother and uncle who left us much too soon and who will be greatly missed.

Sweens was the best, if he was your buddy, he brought his moral compass and zest for life into your heart. Unassuming and perfectly humble, hs was a beacon of principles and values that changed so many lives for the better. Eddy's dry, creative sense of humor defined how special he really was, it was never at any ones expense. Just ask Freddie Lopez! I love you and miss you brother.

All my thoughts and prayers go out to the Sweeney family. Rip Eddy

Eddy and I shared a room as kids and a great memory I can pass on was him teaching me how to climb out of my crib. And many other lessons. Eddy always new when I did some thing wrong , he'd always say Your Gonna Get In Trouble.

This memorial is especially for Kaitlin, Sean, and Callie to recall all the greatest moments with Dad - he cherished you with everlasting love and laughter.
Look for signs. He is with you always.
Love you so much,
Mom
