Ed was a dear, dear friend. I could tell you blood-curdling stories but decorum and decency prevents me me from disclosing them. I will miss him greatly. I love you man!

Ed will be seriously missed!
I will always remember and love his impromptu assessment of our oldest son years ago when visiting. Our son who was about four asked a question and Ed observed “ …at his age he seems to see life only in black and white/good and bad.”
I thought to myself “ how true!”
I was never really sure what Ed was thinking because for the most part he didn’t share many thoughts, but on occasion his comments were wise and/or funny!
MANY fond memories!
