OT Ed Mahon "Chef's passed away yesterday
I received this email from his friend and an obituary from his first wife today.
Please forgive the public posting of his passing. I know many on these boards that communicated with Ed and felt it important to communicate.
Ed was invested in the company since the Norris days. He's been thru it all.

I have received multiple requests for information regarding cards and memorials for Ed, so please forgive the bulk email. Ed had requested that memorials go to the hospice that took care of him. It is a beautiful facility run by a small order of nun's who provide compassionate care for those who are unable to bear the expense of hospice. They operate on donations only. If you care to send a memorial, I have provided the appropriate addresses below.
All cards will be displayed at his memorial service because Ed had so many friends around the world. It is comforting to know that so many people are expressing their sympathy even though they cannot physically attend his memorial service. The date for the Minnesota service has not been set as yet but I will notify you as soon as possible.
Address for cards and memorials
Joe Zgainer
2306 4th Street N.E
Minneapolis, MN 55418
If you would like to send a memorial directly to the hospice, the address is:
Our Lady of Good Counsel Home
2076 St. Anthony Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55104
Ed will be creamated and his ashes scattered at Hillside Cemetery in St. Anthony, MN. A plaque will be placed on a tower as a "footprint" of his life.
If any of you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Blessings to you all.....his friends.

Dear Everyone,
This morning Tuesday, August 3, 2004 at approximately 5:30 AM Ed Mahon went home to be with the Lord at the age of 59. I can’t say that Ed had an easy life, but he did make the best of what came at him. As most of you know I married Ed when I was 21 years old, (March 21st 1970) he was my boss at Grant City in Pompton Plains New Jersey (now it is an A&P). Ed was raised in Denville, graduated Morris Catholic, and then graduated St. Edwards College in Texas. In 1973 Ed and I bought Teddy Roosevelt’s summer home in Mt. Snow Vermont and we opened a restaurant - Ed named it the Afton. In 1975 Ed and I were divorced. Circumstances led Ed to move back in with our family in 1990 the family then consisted of Steve Hille (we have been married for 29 years now) Dana Hille (then 12 years old, now 26), Cara Hille (then 5 years old, now 19) I remember like it was yesterday . . . when I asked Ed to move in with us, he said “you only want me down there (NJ) so you can get me to know that God of yours” . . . and he was so right!!! After Ed lived with us for 1 month he asked Jesus into his heart and life, his heavy desire to drink left him immediately, and he began a brand new life in Christ. His talent was being a great chef, he never really used his degree in finance, but he did use his chef talents. He lived with us for 3 years and six months during which he worked at William Paterson College and Great Gorge. Ed sacrificed a year of his life on the Mercy ship, and met some wonderful people who ultimately ended up walking him the last few steps of his journey home. Ed is now preparing a banquet table in heaven for all of us. If you have any doubts of making it to that table please call me or email me. It is so easy to reserve a spot at that table. Jesus wants you to be there - no matter how you have made your “life decisions” to date he wants to erase it all, provide a new heritage and when your last few steps on earth happen and they will . . . you will have a peace that passes all understanding and you will be forever at that banquet table (no gaining of weight either).
Let’s make Ed’s life and death more worthwhile having you accept Jesus will do that very thing.
Love, Cathleen Ackerman Mahon Hille
