Remembering Ed at Miller Brewing, a pleasure to work with.

Ed was the kind of fellow that all his co-workers enjoyed working with. It was evident to all he loved and cherished his wife. When she passed - i dont think he ever recovered. He is missed.

My deepest sympathy to Ed's father, other relatives and friends. I worked with Ed at Miller Brewing Company and enjoyed our occasional little chats. And, Ed always had a tip on restaurant coupons ... especially Papa Murphy's! I know he will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him.

I met Ed and his dad while volunteering at St. John Neumann parish. His relationship with father was inspiring. He'll be missed.

I worked with Ed at Miller Brewing Company. He was a dedicated employee who was very diligent regarding the work he performed. We all enjoyed his dry humor and his drive for perfection. Ed was always very thorough in his work and we counted upon him to get the job done with little supervision. He was always willing to engage in debate about money, stocks/bonds, company politics and many other topics which we all enjoyed, but he was really looking forward to his retirement. My deepest condolences to his father and all his relatives and friends. I know Chris will be waiting for him with open arms.
