Words are difficult to come by...tears get in the way. My dad was my rock, he was there for me in every way and whenever I needed him. He helped get me through the loss of my husband "Bill" his "Fishing Buddy" 8years ago this Jan. Bill & I vacationed with my parents more than by ourselves. The best trip was to Gloucester, MA. according to my son "Jason". They came to all his sporting events which were many. We helped each other after mom's death and became even closer. We talked on the phone evry night at 9:30, after his sister's call at 9pm. Everyday I think it's time to call dad. I miss you so much........ He was the most devoted man I know, his faith and family were the most important things to him. He was giving,caring,loving, selfless, compassionate and true to his beliefs. He will be missed by all ...God bless you dad you are with your wife "Dorothy" as you wanted. I LOVE YOU!
I met Ed over 20 years ago when he was trying to get the sport of hand ball up and running in our area with hopes of it becoming a popular game amongst the youth. He recruited my husband and son to form a team which played at the Academy of the New Church. My friendship with Ed grew at a different venue...at 9:00 daily Mass at OLGC. It was evident that this man who had such beautiful, blue, twinkling eyes was a holy man. He gave me great strength and hope during the years my Dad was suffering with Parkinson's disease. I loved him dearly for that! He spoke so beautifully and full of pride of his family...most endearingly, though, of his beloved wife, Dorothy. Tears filled his eyes as he spoke of her. He told me how much he had missed her and that he prayed for one wish to come true...that she would come to him in a dream and talk to him. But the image burnished in my memory, is the image of him standing in the grotto, in front of the statue of Mary, so devotedly looking up at her, his lips silently moving,and praying with such a steadfast faith like I have never seen before. For me,over the past 20+ years, Ed Juliano's authentic, consistent, unceasing devotion to his faith and love of God and Mary, impressed me and inspired me follow his example (thank you, Ed). His belief and hope that God would make all things work out for the best gave me strength and hope! A gentle man, a gentleman, a family man, a friend, a Godly man.....I will miss his presence at church, but his spirit and image in front of our Blessed Mother so fervent in prayer will remain with me forever. I will miss my dear friend. Truly, I will miss him. I pray that he sees the face of God. Comfort, warm, loving memories and blessings to his dear family.
Our deepest sympathy to all the Juliano family. We have so many happy memories of Uncle Ed and Aunt Dot growing up on Beech Avenue. You will be missed.
Maureen, Keith, Candace, Michelle, Matthew, and Cameron
I miss you already, Uncle Ed. Thanks for being a part of our lives. Your love for the family will always be remembered. I called Mom at 9:00 tonight, but I couldn't fill your shoes. On November 17, the boys will be performing for you knowing that you will be watching them from heaven.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.Thank You Uncle Ed for being part of our lives, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime, we are grateful that you were part of our lives and to have known you.
I'm thankful how caring you were to my children. The happy times up in Gloucester when we took a trip in your new Prisus. All the picnics we had together. So many happy memories, you were a great brother-in-law. Give our Dorothy a big kiss for me and my Jack. I will miss you. Love Pat
Everyone in our family will miss our dearest neighbor and friend, Ed. Jill and Kate would come home from school and tell us they saw Ed at mass and that he smiled and waived at them. Peter and Paula enjoyed their conversations with him about everything; his love of fishing, our shared interest in visiting Glouchester and Rockport, Mass., his family vacations to Avalon, NJ, and especially his children and grandchildren. How proud he was of all of you!! God Bless you all and know that Ed will always be in our hearts and prayers.
To the Juliano family, I am so sorry for your loss at this time. I know how hard it is because I just lost my dad on October 14th and they were great buddies. They are now together with God in a better place. I will always remember your dad with love and affection as he always treated me with kindness and I will miss his sense of humor! God bless you!
what a man
what an impact he had on all of us
something about uncle ed
something about aunt dot
just love
the older they got the better they got
so many warm memories
uncle ed, ambassador of family and everything the word stands for
sorry we didn't get together more for him, so glad we did when we did
sharp instructor of life and lessons
wanted the best for everyone
happiest when he was surrounded by all of us, the chief and his tribe
and cherished those times, didn't hesitate to teach, share,
and tell stories to show his wisdom
he was wise, a force
I'm sure there were chinks in the armor
he's had his share of hurt and pain
but when he was with us he was ready, he was on,
he was willing and able
a hug, a hand shake, a kiss on the cheek
I was always a little sad to say goodbye to uncle ed
never more sad than today
