Jean and family, Our heartfelt condolences to each of you. Ed was a one-of-a-kind man. Always the same no matter where you met him. We have so many dear memories of times spent together. Our trips to Niagara Falls, New England, the Amish Country. The one we remember most was the night we got hot chicken at Bogangles. As Ed put it "now that's hot". Try to hold the good memories close and let the sad ones go. We love you all and if there is anything we can do for you, please, let us know.
