To all the warren family, for alot of our lives we lived so many miles apart and only spent a few days swimming when you come down . But when your family moved back to sc I've never seen two grown men act like big joe and ed did , it was like brothers and has remain that way since . Ed showed me things in a way that was differnt than big joe,not bad or good but in a way that would let me decide , right or wrong ed said, YOU KNOW WRONG AND RIGHT,SO QUIT WORRING ABOUT OTHERS OPINION , THERE'S MIGHT BE WRONG...AS LONG AS UR CHOICE IS WHAT YOU BELEIVE IS RIGHT , YOU WON'T BE WRONG" I'll miss him as much as you and am thankful to have our families as if we're one.
