Ed Mialky's Condolences
We will always remember Ed for his compassion coupled with his professional work style. Ed chose our building in Port Allegany as the home for The Guidance Center from 2008-2018. We took an instant liking to Ed and Ginny from the moment we met them. We are from California and felt that one of the reasons he chose our building was because he wanted us to succeed in our PA endeavor. He was always fair, supportive and insightful. Every year when we traveled to Port, one of the highlights was visiting with Ed and Ginny, not to talk business but to gather as friends. He spoke of his children, grandchildren, the history of Bradford and always had a funny story to tell. He had excellent taste in cars, wine, wood crafts and in choosing a companion-Ginny. He spoke proudly of Jonathan who lives in Los Angeles, not too far from us. He would let me know when he and Ginny were coming to town and the great restaurants Jonathan took them to. Even after we sold the building in 2018, we kept in contact with Ed and Ginny. He would send us pictures of his snow covered backyard and tell us how blessed he felt. We were blessed to get to know Ed on a personal level. He was so thoughtful, kind, dedicated, intelligent and humble. Our deepest condolences go out to Ginny, Jonathan and the whole Mialky family. Ed will be missed and remembered… Angelheart (Jennifer & Lisa)

Very sorry to hear that Ed had died. I enjoyed my time serving on the Guidance Center’s Advisory Board and looked forward to working with Ed in that way. Heartfelt condolences to Ginny and his family.

I met Ed in 1974 when he first came to work for the CEMP Program. I believe that he was appointed director of the Family and Child Clinic in Smethport. From the beginning, Ed was a top administrator who dealt with the four-county commissioner CEMP board and the various Title Programs with distinction. In those days, we had to rely on the CEMP Board and federal Title programs for monetary support of the many programs in our catchment area. Ed was a no-nonsense type of guy who knew what was needed and went after it. His accomplishments at the Guidance Center and the BSU were structurally, clinically, and managerially remarkable. He took the Bradford Clinic from an old broken-down wooden hospital wing to a beautiful edifice of distinction. Ed cannot be replaced, but we must be committed to pursue his vision of what a well-run and humanistic health care system is all about.

I am saddened to hear of Ed''s passing. My sincere condolences go out to Ed''s family and Ginny. He was a genuine good guy as well as a kind, thoughtful and supportive mentor and leader. I learned so much from Ed. I was very fortunate to work with Ed and many other wonderful and talented folks during my 4 years at TGC. I like to imagine that Ed will be chairing some intriguing BSU meetings in heaven.
