Ed was a great and caring man. I would often interact with him at the YMCA in Saratoga and Malta where he could always be seen with a smile on his face. He was a great and pleasant man even up to his final days. I ran into Ed about two months ago at the Y in Malta and he told me about his plight. Even with all that was going on, he was smiling and in good spirits. The world has lost a great person. May you rest in peace my friend.

Aunt Phyllis, Bill and Joy, I am so sorry for the passing of Ed. We had such a fun time growing up as kids. I have wonderful memories of the farm playing in the hay loft in the barn.
