I've been thinking about Ed a lot this week. I met Ed in the third grade when his parents moved out of the city of Cleveland into my rural, at that time becoming suburban, neighborhood. We shared our boyhoods together and formed a brotherly bond: climbing trees, sleeping out, working on bicycles, racing motorbikes, listening to rock-n-roll music and generally getting into a bit of trouble. He was loyal. Loved Linda, his daughters, his friends, and life. We all will miss his humor, his wit, and the love.

Our sympathy is with you the family; so sorry to read of Ed's passing.
Sincerely, Bob and Sally Aylsworth

I was so looking forward to seeing Ed again at our class reunion.
When we lived together at OSU his mother was so happy that I convinced him to eat Kraft Macoroni and Cheese that she bought us a whole case .
Ed was a fussy eater, but one heck of a great guy. I will miss him.

So sorry we will not get to see you at the class reunion in June. Your 1962 class of Strongsville High School bids you farewell. Be at peace.

Hey Ed! Ride easy. I'm gonna miss you, both on the bike and otherwise.
