Uncle Eddie was always a very happy person. I remember spending the night at his house when the three of us kids would go and visit. I also remember all of the little things such as the trips in the car, the drive-ins, sitting around the table at night just talking. I am going to miss him so much. I have a lot of very fond memmories that I will keep for the rest of my life!


I love you Uncle Eddie!! Thank you for all that you have done!

Dear Livingston's, My heart is sad at the loss of Ed. He was always smiling and a person that could lift anyones spirts. He never got his due for the wonderful artist he was. From the time we grew up together in New Salem, to school days, to the years at Kissel's he was always fun and the salt of the earth. I will miss him, but I am glad he is at peace now. My very best to all the family and sincere sympathy to you all in your loss.
