The family of Ed, my deepest sympathy to you all. I've known Ed for thirty some years while working residencial plumbing. We would work on the same subdivision and run into one another. He knew my dad from the copper country, when Ed played HS Basketball. My dad was a referee, and didn't allow Ed to get away with too much on the BB court. I stayed in contact with him through email and it was a real delight to hear him talk of the Edmond Fitzgerald. I was proud to know Edward, he was a real gentleman. May he rest in peace.
