I know Ed when he worked in Regulatory Services at UK. He always had a good word to say and loved to laugh. He will live in my memory as a good person.

What a wonderful notice. Ed celebrated life everyday of his life and his passing will dim the lives of all those that knew him. I had the honor to know him and spend at least a little time in his aura and will always think of him warmly, and as the guy that showed me you could put your hand in a cows stomach. He was always great fun!
We offer prayers of strength to you all.
