Ed has touched so many lives it is hard to put it all into words. I have known skeeter for at least 22 years. He was an amazing person with a great personality. He was full of life and would do anything for anyone. He would always greet you with a hug and kiss. Added spice to all your parties. Took family vacations together to Myrtle Beach every spring. He loved the Holidays. He would go all out for Christmas. His laughter and sense of humor will be greatly missed. We love you Ed . Rest in Peace.

We will miss Ed , He touched so many lives. Ed left me with a lot of good memories. He gave me my first training wheels for my car because I slide off the road in the snow. Always a joker. We took family vacations to Myrtle Beach for spring break every year.I remember my sister giving him perms. Whenever we were at a wedding Ed would be the first one on the dance floor dancing with the groom! Ed was our best man and also song at our wedding.He was the life of a party. Our parties will never be the same.
He will be greatly missed in everyone's lives .May he rest in peace.

What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words. Ed was such a loving creative person.After Ed’s passing my Son George who looked up to Ed when he was a little boy, said you know Dad, Ed was the first to show me how to hunt, how to fish and how to bow hunt, and Oh I guess it can’t hurt now to tell you that Ed gave me my first Beer as well. I remember years ago going bowling and Ed’s perfect 300 scores, and clearing off the trees and brush on their property and hooking up the power to their first and only home, the silly jokes we played on each other, the Bees, the Fire. I could go on and on. Yes I was as everyone that knew Ed blessed to have known him. I am so proud of how strong Val was at the services. I love you. I can only picture you as my little Niece but Oh how you have grown to become a loving Woman, Wife and Mother. I am so sorry Ed Passed. "Our love and support will always be there for you, Travis and Elizabeth keep the lines of communications open. The day we took flowers to the grave sight I noticed that Val would not go where Ed was buried, and when leaving I could just see a zombie stares of disbelief." You will need time to process the loss. The best thing you can do for yourself and your children is to talk and share each others love unconditionally. I will always be there if you need anything or just want to talk. Love you Val.

Ed "Skeeter" was always the life of a party. He brought laughter to everyone he met. Whenever we seen each other he would always greet us with a hug and a kiss. Ed was into everything from Hunting, golfing, softball, bowling, ect.. active with whatever his children were into so he could be with them. Did you know that Ed could even sing? That's right Ed song in my Wedding and also,he was the one who introduced me to Tim" my husband". Although Val is my Cousin she is like a sister to me. Growing up we lived next door to each other. From family vacations to every party out there we did together. This tragedy has ripped a great man out of our lives. Val, Lizz and Travis you are a treasure in my heart and I will always be here for you. Rest in Peace dear friend we will see you on the other side.

To The Family,
I only worked with Ed for a short time, but had a locker in the same row at work. He would go out of his way to ask how things were going, with me and my family. He was a genuine caring man, He will be missed.

Val, liz, and travis my deepest sympathies to your family. I don't have to tell you what a terrific man he was just know how he touched so many, the smile, the laugh the conversations. He was a great listener and I am blessed to have met him but also the chance for my daughter to meet him. What a pleasure. He spoke of liz and trav and just lit up like they were born yesterday. Someday I hope to be half the person he was. God bless you at this difficult time.
