April 19, 1962 - November 21, 2009

DiPIETRO
Edward V., Jr

Born April 19, 1962, in Camden and passed away November 21, 2009 after a short, but hard and courageous battle against pancreatic cancer. He lived in Williamstown and previously lived many years in Oaklyn. He was 47. Dear husband of Patricia nee Brown. Loving father of Jacob and Cheryl. Devoted son of Edward, Sr. of Oaklyn and the late Betty nee Gittinger. Cherished brother of Tina. Also survived by 5 nieces and 1 nephew, his mother-in-law Julia Brown nee Carmichael, 3 sisters-in-law and 2 brothers-in-law.

Ed was a hard working, dedicated worker of Comcast for the last 9 years. He was an assistant Scout Master for Boy Scout Troop #161 for many years and loved to go on scout day trips but had the time of his life hiking in Glacier National Park and last year to Yellowstone National Park. Ed loved the quiet of the Poconos, tinkering on anything he could fix with his own two hands, computers and talking about computers, going to Sharky’s and the junk yard with Marty and Dick. Ed was especially touched with the love and generosity of all his Comcast “brothers and sisters” and everyone involved, that attended or couldn’t attend the benefit for him. He tried so hard to figure out how to thank everyone but couldn’t find the words, but he was moved to tears. He loved all of you very much.

Ed’s favorite saying was “Have Fun!” so the family has requested that dress be casual because that is how Ed would have wanted it.

Ed will be honored Wednesday with a visitation from 9:00 – 11:00 am at the EGIZI FUNERAL HOME, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral Service 11:00 am at the funeral home. Interment private at the convenience of the family.

See Condolences

My dear friend - I pray often that you are quickly united with our Lord Jesus. Thank you for the Scouting memories. Your dedication and service touched the lives of so many scouts and their families. I will miss you every day.

We are so sad to hear of Ed's passing. Ed and I were great friends growing up and although we have not seen much of each other lately, I will always remember the great times we shared. Our deepest sympathy to Trish and the kids. Chick & Michelle Colwell Oaklyn

Our condolances, thoughts and prayers go out to Trici, Sheryl and Jake as well as to Ed's many frinds and extended family. We all have memories of Ed which will console us as we think on them. Pauline and uncle Duck

Trish - My sympathies to you and your children on the loss of your husband. He fought a brave battle and is now at peace. May you all come to find peace at this difficult time. God bless. - Ellie Y.

Trish, Jacob and Cherl - We are so sorry for your loss. May each day get a little brighter for you and the memories of him warm your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Will always remember the times we had together at many scout camping trips. If it wasn't for you many of the boys would not learn as much. You made their trips memoriable. I could only get the moms to camp out if you were coming and doing the cooking!!

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

When I first met Ed it was by phone when I worked in the LMC. He was a great help to me with a problem that I had not yet seen. Ed was a soft spoken man and a good man too. We use to joke that it is only cable. My last time I saw Ed I was coming in for work and I did not see him seating at Bob's desk! He said Herman you have a tag on your pants! lol It was my new work pants and I had not remembered to remove them. Of course I was the but of jokes from Mike Stamper. But it made us all laugh! Remember what we will endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning will miss him. Rest in peace my friend. And thank you for being my friend. Herman

My deepest condolences to Ed's family. I first met Ed when he started with Comcast. He was a go to guy and always a pleasure to work with. Ed was a major influence on my current career choice. Ed will be greatly missed.

Sorry for your loss. Ed was a great teacher and friend. With his help I received my certificate for PC repair and he also got me my job at Comcast. I called him for guidance on work and home matters and he never steered me wrong. He will be greatly missed.

Ed was not only a co-worker but a good friend. We had a lot I common. We are both founding members of the â??Comcast Black-opps teamâ? other names will not be disclosed to protect them. We both enjoyed camping, hiking and the outdoors. We often talked about going on a trip together to some place like Glacier national park or the Grand Tetons, this only shows us to live in the moment and treasure every moment that passes. My heart goes out to his family they lost a great man. I will miss you Ed and work will not be the same. Rest in peace and I will meet you at the Grand Tetons.

My heart and prayers go out to the Dipietro's. Ed was a great friend and co-worker. He always went out his way to help others with anything they needed work related or personal. One Sunday on his day off, he even helped me find a hood for my car and by the time I got to the junkyard Ed and his son had already had the hood off car and ready to put in my van. He refused to take anything from me as a payment. I will always Cherish his booming voice, his knowledge, his patience to teach others and his laugh!!! A true Angel has been called home.

Dace called us, "like two peas in a pod", you were a brave and courageous man I and loved and will always love you deeply. I loved going to the Poconos and watching the deer and occational bear go by the house, picking our land out for our house up there and just the quiet walks we would take. I loved and admired all the friends that you have made and kept in touch with over the years. The girls miss you so much epecially the Boops, she jumps into your chair and waits for you to sit on her to get her down. Now is your time to relax and be with the love ones you have previous lost, we will be fine it will take time we know but with our memories of time with you and with your courage you have made it alittle easier for us to survive without you here. I could go on decribing how you have made my life and me a better person and I will miss and love you "always and forever". Love you, Me

I am very sad to have lost a great co-worker and friend. He will be greatly missed, my prayers are with his family he has left behind. God Bless.

I wish I was there for you. I thoughts and prayer are with you all. Know how much we will miss Ed. Love You Peggy and JIm

We are so sorry for your loss. You and Ed had many happy years. finding a car on your rose... just started things off just right. We love you!

I remember the first time I interacted with Ed. It was an interview for the newly created Data Tech position in the Vineland office. He asked me to install a network card into a PC and I forgot to eject the floppy disk, Ed says - "it might be easier if you eject the floppy disk, like it says on the screen"... Even despite that fowl up Ed hired me and got a life long friend as well. That was in 2001. Ed was smart, funny, and giving. You will be missed! If heaven has an IT department they just got an excellent new addition!

Dear Ed and Family, I am so sorry to read of Eddie's passing. Life takes us in different directions and although I haven't seen you for a number of years, I remember my friendship with Betty, your wedding, the hospitality of your home and seeing two happy youngsters,Tina and Eddie running about. You both were great parents, no wonder Eddie grew into such a fine young man. I know that Betty was there to meet him. The Lord will see you all through this. God Bless. Dottie

We are so very sorry.

Loved the many hours and memories that we shared on the scouting outings, especially Yellowstone. My son matthew owes a lot of his development to Eagle because of your fine teaching. Thank you and may god bless your family!

You truly will be missed old friend.Our thoughts and prayers are with Trish and the kids. Mike & Cherrie Medoro

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We are so sorry for your loss. May each day get a little brighter for you and the memories of him warm your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Ted and Janice Sliben Flocco

We are so very sorry for your loss. It is very clear that Ed was a wonderful and very much loved man. He will be missed by all whose life he touched.

We are so sorry for your loss............... The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Our deepest condolences to Trish and the kids. Ed was a friend as well as a co worker. He was a guy I could always depend on, even if it was 3 in the morning and I was the one asleep. i loved the stories and the pictures he shared after one of his outdoor retreats and lived vicariously through his adventures. He shared his knowledge with me which grants him immortality. I will miss my friend........

I'm so sorry for your loss. Ed was a great man! I enjoyed working around him in his years on the NSD Team as a team lead. From time to time when he came over to Bishop's Gate it was always pleasant to see his smiling face. Ed will surely be missed! My prayers will continue for his family.. Martina

Dear Aunt Trice and Uncle Ed. This loss was a terrible loss. Some people say eveything happens for a reason, but sometimes we never find out the reason. Uncle Ed was an amazing uncle. I didn't see him all the time, but I still love him. I wasn't really sure how to take this at first. Than I realized he was in a better place, and he is out of his pain and misery. I could write alot more but i'm not surehow long i can type. But I love youu!

Working in the Cherry Hill LMC for Comcast put me in phone contact with Ed all the time. I use to get upset when he didn't return my calls but I was happy when he did and never told him anything because I knew he had a lot on his plate just as we all did. Sometime in 2007 was the first time I met him in person during a class I was taking in Turnersville when he popped in. I took advantage and asked him a whole bunch of questions which he was able to give me great answers for. Ed was an incredible person to work with. Full of knowledge and helpful in every way. I miss him dearly. My prayers, thoughts, and strengths are with the family. -Luis Cosme- Pennsauken, NJ

May his soul rest in perfect peace.Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your mom, and your brother. For and on behalf of CVS340 Tony Achamba. Store Mgr.

i was very sorry to hear of ed's illness and eventual passing. i worked with him from 2002 to 2004 at cherry hill. he was a great guy and very knowledgable. he loved to talk about the boy scout troop, and i could tell how devoted he was. it was good to see ed a few weeks ago at the benefit event. the number of people there is a real testament to how many lives he touched. he really looked good after all he had been through, and he seemed in good spirits. i'm glad i got to catch up with him again. i will keep ed's family in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Dear Tricie, Jake and Cheryl, Take comfort in your memories and take strength from each other. Tricie take faith in the knowledge that one day you will see Ed as he turns the corner on one of his heavenly hikes to greet you. Everyone should be so lucky to have had the contentment and comfortable union you two shared. You two were truly blessed even though it was too short. Love Dace, Olivia, Julia and Gran

When Ed applied to Comcast nine years ago, I was so glad to find him a perfect match for the Online Supervisor job in Pleasantville and Vineland. He was on the road, confident in his computer knowledge and learning RF. When Online merged with Cable, I was again glad to bring him to the brand new National Support Desk. He handled so many of the new issues we were seeing head-on, always willing to help. I learned early on that scouting and camping trips took preference for vacation requests, and appreciated his love for spending time in the great outdoors. I'd also been warned that Howard thought Ed a good fit for his team, and finally one day, with that sly grin that always seemed to turn to a big smile, he handed me his Transfer Request. Time to leave the office - the RF and headend world called. Whether popping up via IM or in the office, I'd see the twinkle in his eye and his big grin. I'm so glad I had the chance to know Ed. His heart was as big as he was. To Trish, Jacob,Cheryl and Ed's Dad, my deepest sympathy.

I want you to know we are truly sorry for your loss, I have known Ed for a long time with my years at Comcast, and the time he would take out of his busy schedule to answer my questions and patiently explain what he knew so well.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
