Rose Chupka Cookman And Jim Cookman
Ed was a colleague and friend who will be missed. I met Ed almost 40 years ago when we worked in the same office at HUD. Ed was a great worker, kind, cheerful and looked out for his colleagues. It was a great honor to be one of the girls who orchestrated his retirement shindig. He was always proud of Neal and Linda and talked about them often. Ed and I remained friends long after he retired. I was thrilled he found Margaret, who helped him live his life to the fullest. Seeing him dance at his 90th birthday confirmed Ed’s love of life. Although he will be missed, I believe we can all rest easy that he has gone to a better place. Jim and I send our thoughts and prayers to Margaret, Neal, Linda and all his remaining family.
