What was the cause of death for Brother Edmund?
Brother was recently fighting cancer. Thank you for asking
Edmond you will be missed. Pray for us. RIP.
How old was he when he’s passed ?
Brother was 75 years old. He would have been 57 years a Brother this September.
Bro. Edmond was a good friend of my uncle, Bro. Paul Goodwin. I’ll always be thankful for the kindness, friendship, and love Bro. Edmond gave my family when we were in Rhode Island for my uncle’s funeral. He helped make a difficult time a little easier to bear. May he rest in peace.
From the Mexican and latino students he helped during his time at LaSalle a big thank you, you will be missed!! Descansa en Paz querido Edmund
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Brother Edmond.
For many years he was a good friend and confrère at La Salle Military Academy. In later years we kept our friendship as he assumed the role as Visitor and Director of the Provincial House in Narragansett.
The news of his passing is a great surprise.
He will be missed by many former students and by many Brothers.
I am sure that God, His angels and saints, and our Lasallian heroes welcomed Br. Edmond into the heavenly banquet.
God will give him eternal peace.
Brother Edmond was a good friend of mine. We last spoke in person during Bro. Michael Mc Kenery’s 50th anniversary celebration in Rhode Island. His laugh was contagious.
