EDMUND CAHILL, 20

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Lifelong Dongan Hills resident
Edmund (Eddie) Cahill III, a Staten Island Railway train

Mr. Cahill attended St. Ann's School in Dongan Hills

his death.
Mr. Cahill was a kind-hearted, easy-going and family
oriented, said family members.
"He always made family his first priority," said

patient."
Mr. Cahill never forgot to wave from the train to his
grandparents as he passed their Dongan Hills home every day,
he said.
He was an avid Yankee fan, and enjoyed playing video games
with his brother on the Internet.
Most of all, he cherished the time he spent with his
fiancee, Frances Rampino, his siblings, parents and
grandparents.
He was a parishioner of St. Ann's R.C. Church, Dongan
Hills.
In addition to his brother, Matthew, surviving are his
parents, Edmund Cahill Jr. and Geralyn Cahill; his maternal
grandpernts, Pat and Marie Garofano, and a sister, Cara
