I've known Ed since 1997, at DDEAMC. Chuck DePreker, you nailed it, for Ed was truly a LEGEND. He was the "go to guy" and "rock" of the DDEAMC O.R. Surgical Supply. Working as the service nurse for open heart, Ed was always on top of it, when we needed to order instruments, or supply items for our patients. He was a great friend and co-worker. I have been blessed knowing and working with him. My prayers and condolences to the family.
