Annie, George and family,
I will miss Ed's stories, our little talks and his secret spots for picking mushrooms. He always had a smile and some story to tell and always had time for me. He will be missed but never forgotten. I feel bad for those who never met him as they are ones who really missed out meeting a great man.
