Mr. Huba was a neighbor of mine for over twenty years, and I will always have fond memories of him and his wife. They always were a joy to be around, and most of all I will remember the example they set for others through the lives that they lived based on integrity and hard work. I remember the last time I saw Mr. Huba back in March that his departing words were "Thanks for the memories." May God bless Chris and Mary and the rest of the family during this difficult time.

I also have good memories of being invited to dinner at the Huba's many years ago, yet on these occasions, I didn't get to know Ed or hear his stories as much as I might have. Ellie and I quickly focused in and got wrapped up in talking about our writing and in reading her poems, while she encouraged me to keep working on my own. Ed (and usually, Mary and my brother, George Miller) left us to these rather intense conversations to watch TV or talk about other things in the living room! At other gatherings of our two families, I will always remember Ed's often-reserved presence as he observed all the goings-on with a twinkle in his eye, his select humorous comments, and a sense of his compassion and kindness that came my way.

I did not know Ed well but had many wonderful conversations about golf with him at the Beltrone. He always told me I should pratice more. I will miss him. He was a wonderful man.

I always felt at home when I visited the Huba family. It was a special treat for me to be invited to a Sunday night dinner with Mary and her family. I looked forward to Mr. Huba's stories and take on life, (usually comical, but delivered perfectly deadpan) and Mrs. Huba's great meals. Thirty five years later, I still smile when I think of sitting around the dining room table and listening to Mr. Huba's stories. He was clear about what was important in his life---providing a good home for his family, serving his country with honor, being honest, working hard, being sure that his daughters had a wonderful education, and opportunities far beyond what he himself had. And playing golf! He can be very proud of his own life, and how he touched the lives of others.

I can only say that Ed was the best father-in-law to me and very best grandfather to my son that anyone could ever hope for. I feel lucky to have been "adopted" into the Huba family and am very proud to have known Ed and his beloved, deceased wife for the past 35 years. He was a truly honorable and decent man who was always concerned for the well-being of his family and of those whom he had had contact with over the years. I will miss him very much.

Dear Mary and Chrissy, I am sorry to hear about your Dad. I liked reading about his golfing history--imagine caddying at 9 years old. Thinking of your Mom and Dad brings to mind the pictures of them with Ida and Tom enjoying vacations at the Cape. They always looked like they were having a great time! We were lucky to have our parents for as long as we did but even though I am a senior myself I miss them. My sympathies to you and your families. Katy Smith Bergh

Coversations may be forgotten, memories will fade, but your life lessons will continue on. I was proud to have Poppy (Ed) as my grandfather and glad to know him as long as I did.

My mother lives on the 6th fl. at Beltrone and Ed was one of the first people I met when we moved her in. I will miss seeing him in the hall and having him say a friendly hello. My sympathy to all his family.

I was saddened today to learn of Ed's passing. Ed came to be my Supervisor at Motor Vehicles years ago. We butted heads a lot in the beginning, both of us having strong personalities, but ended up very good friends. He gave me great advice and encouraged me to move up. He told me I was bored and too smart to remain a clerk. No one had ever taken the time to do that. We lived fairly close to each other and one winter we had a bitter cold, below zero, three day stretch. I didn't have a car and took the bus. Three days in a row Ed showed up at the bus stop in front of my house and asked if I wanted a ride to work. The Post Office was right across the street and he told me he just happened to have to mail a letter. On the third day I said to him, "Ed, I find it hard to believe that for three straight days in a row you just happen to have to mail a letter at this exact time." He just said, "Shut up." He was a wonderful man who was kind and good and will be missed. He loved his family and spoke of them often. He gave me great advice and great memories. As much as it is sad to lose him it would have been even sadder never to have known him.
