Not sure what to say?

I honestly never saw my Uncle Ed without a smile on his face. From vacations on Jekyll Island to piling all eight of us into a car for a road trip, he was always smiling. I remember my grandmother saying, “No one is going to rain on his parade!”

He had a calm and quiet strength that was very comforting, and I won’t soon forget the kindness he showed me.

Beth and Ed, my heart goes out to you both. You’ve had a lot of loss in just a few years. I’m glad you have...

Beth and Ed, Your Dad was a special gentleman and a special friend of 73 years. So sorry for your loss. Brownie was like a brother to me.. I will miss him also!

Beth and Ed, Your Dad was a kind and gentle person, and had a very big heart. He had a way of making each person in his life feel so special and treasured. He will always have a special place in our hearts! I am so thankful and blessed that I got a chance to talk to him on his birthday in Dec! Love you Brownie , Kathy and Pete

He was a wonderful person to be around! He will be missed!

Dear Ed and Beth, what amazing parents you have. I hope your happy memories of your wonderful dad will bring you comfort. Keeping you close in my heart.

So sorry to hear the passing of my dear friend and golfing buddy, we always had a great time, Bob Francis.

Beth and family, praying for the comfort of the Holy Spirit during this time of loss. Both of your parents were such lovely souls and I know they are together once again. With Sympathy, Jennifer and Stuart

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Ed was always the brightest and friendlies person anyone would ever meet. he will be missed by all his friends.
Wishing you comfort and peace as you remember the wonderful times with Ed.
