I had the pleasure of meeting Ed in 1976 when I started my career in mortgage servicing, which I retired from in 2015. Ed & I shared the same birthday and even after we no longer worked together, we stayed in touch since Ed, Bonnie & the girls were involved in horses for years. Even after I moved to Texas & Florida,I had the opportunity to see Ed at conferences and at Liberty.. until he retired. He was always one of my favorite people-funny, smart, great (& sharp!) sense of humor, and such a dedicated family & career man. Kudos Ed for a life well lived, and condolences to Bonnie, Kim, Kelly & the rest of the family as I know how much you will miss him! Hugs,

Dear Bill and Betty,
My heart was saddened to hear that you have lost your brother Ed. When I was young, he made my day by letting me play the piano with him when I was visiting your house one Sunday afternoon. Please give my sympathy to his wife and girls. He was a kind and talented man.
