Eddie and I were the only left-handers in Nettie Loy's first grade class in grade school. Eddie always had a smile and had time to chat. He was a great local business man and left his mark on all around him.

Mark and I have always enjoyed your Husband/Father so much. He was one of the friendliest guys in New Bremen. Our memories of him, go back to Main St./Monroe St. gas station, where he use to pump our gas, and wash our windows. Those were the days. Another memory is him always walking his fluffy white dog, all over town. They were certainly best buds.
Ed never failed to ask us how Mark's parents were doing, when they were still living. Always had a smile upon his face. He will greatly be missed around New Bremen.
Rest In Peace Ed!

My favorite memory of Ed was seeing him walking his dog (or was his dog walking him!) or driving through town in his truck with his dog riding shotgun. Will miss Ed's smiling, friendly face. He never knew a stranger. My sympathy to all the family.
