I didn't see this until now. I really liked Ed. He had such a great sense of humor. I worked at Kay Jewelers and he would come in there weekly just for a visit and to say hello. What a sweetie. He adored his hamily and he just loved his wife so much. He would buy her a beautiful piece of jewelry every holiday and sometimes in between. He would sometimes bring some of his collectibles for us to see. I mainly remember some little doggies, he said he had thousands of them, haha. What a great guy. I think of him every time I drive up 512 for sure. So sorry for the family, he will be missed.
