We are deeply saddened by the passing of Brother Ed Lane, PGK.  Ed has been a member of the Council for over 35 years and Financial Secretary for the last 30. All of the many contributions Ed has made to the Council during this time are too long to list, but it can simply be said, “whenever anybody needed help or whenever something needed to get done, Ed was there.”

Lane, Edwin E., 72, on October 8, 2016. Ed was the beloved husband of  Mary A. “Maureen” (Whooley) and the son of the late Concetta (Chessari)  and Edwin B. Lane.
