I went to school with Ed for 6 years, we were very close, especially after beening in Great Lakes NTC together in 1957. We were in different companies but saw each other almost daily for 8 weeks. We were both homesick but helped each other talking about LEHS and cars. I moved from Asheville in 1968 but have always kept the memories of Ed close to my heart. My condolences to his family for your loss. Ed was a great guy.

I'm so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I worked with him when I was the Benefits Manager at the City. I was fortunate to be able to talk with him many times about his retirement, insurance, etc. He was always very nice to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
