Ed was such a great neighbor for the past 36 years. I'm going to miss our casual street side talks and knowing that he was a great overseer of my house and the entire neighborhood. He was a quiet and kind man with a big heart and will be greatly missed. Sending many warm and caring thoughts to Shirley and the Breeyear family.

We will miss the many talks we had over the picket fence we shared. We are at a loss for words. Ed was such a sweet soul. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Shirley and the entire Breeyear family. Hugs

My deepest condolences to the Breeyear family ...
Ed was a true friend to all and always knew how to bring light to any situation to turn it around and make everything better. If that didnt work there was always some joke distraction to make one seem like the issue was gone. Countless times taking what went on with everyone else and ignoring his own roller coaster ride .... I know life truly will never be the same and will be missed greatly by us all.
My prayers...
