He cooked wonderful dinners for her after she returned from a long day at work. They became engaged in a gazebo, on Palm Sunday, April 1, 2007, in St. Maarten, as the full moon was rising over the Caribbean. They married a year later at Our Lady’s in Lynnfield and were blessed to have 21 amazing years together. He was a devoted, caring husband. They went on numerous tours together and with friends to Europe, and especially enjoyed Ireland, Italy, and the Christmas Market in Munich and Salzburg. Ed loved cruising, especially the Caribbean and Mediterranean. He was fortunate to be on the Celebrity Edge for 4 weeks last February. He was always the consummate gentleman, very thoughtful of everyone, and a good listener, especially to stories told driving Briget and her coworkers’ home after returning from their Delta flights. He made sure they were comfortable, treating them like Royalty! Ed was a brilliant engineer at Honeywell and was awarded 11 patents! He was an avid runner, gardener, and enjoyed picnics, parties, the outdoors, especially the ocean. Ed was selfless man, mentoring others, and supporting those he cared for. He always had a positive outlook on life, and never complained about the health challenges he faced. He was appreciative and grateful for every act of kindness! His faith was a source of comfort. Ed was Briget’s protector and confidant and will be missed terribly. His spirit will always be with her. As a dear friend said, “He is running with the Angels now!” Besides his beloved wife Briget, he is survived by his sister, Diane Bromwell of Annapolis, MD, his cousin, William and his wife Anne Marie Mullen of Peabody and their children, Elizabeth Mullen and Marie Bylund.
