I am so sorry for Ed´s passing. I will always remember him, I knew Ed from working at Tobyhanna for many years. We always got along, I am a big Dallas Cowboys fan and we would always bust each other. I remember at one time Ed got me a crying towel, I remember him a lot during football season. Ed is where he will see all the Eagles games. May our Dear Lord be with all of you. Ed is with our Dear Lord now !!! God. Bless All of You !!!
