Not sure what to say?

Vickie Bakalars is my sister and to me Ed is part of our extended family. Our family will miss him dearly. His family meant the world to him and he to us. Every holiday, every school event, every celebration...Ed was there for his family. Just a wonderful guy with so much kindness and patience. Heaven truly gained another great human and now has a angel to watch over his loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who will miss Ed as much as I will! Love you!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. So much heartache recently with your family. Sharing all of your wonderful memories and holding them close to your heart hopefully will give you some peace during this sad time. So sorry!

Carol and family, Sue Krause called to let me know about Ed. We are very sorry for your loss. He was a very nice man. I would see him occasionally when we lived on Mississippi street near his family. Several classmates have lost husbands this year.Tough year. Take care our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Ed for 37 years and they were great years. He was a fun boss and a great person. Knowing him definitely added to my life experience. His love for golf and his grandchildren were his greatest pleasures and we discussed them often as they were growing up. After I retired I didn't see him very often but thought of Him and his family all the time and just knowing he was still in his office working with his son Paul I knew I could stop and see them when I wanted to. His passing...

I considered Bunt (Ed) more of a best friend/brother then I did an uncle .. My wife and I went out for dinner with him and Carol almost every week for the past 35+ years .. Bunt was a gentle person .. I don't recall ever seeing him become upset or angry over everyday problems .. I often wished that I had the same temperament as him .. We enjoyed many laughs together and life will not be the same without him ... Miss you Bunty but I know we'll meet again one day in the afterlife ...

Ed (Bunty) was the best brother in law in the whole world. He was so sweet & kind to everyone he knew & had a heart of gold. I feel so bad for his wife Carol ( Beebs ),his son Paul, Vicky & the 3 grandkids .He loved spending time with all them.
