We both worked with Ed at Corry Contract. He had a wonderful personality and was always there to help with anything. He had a great mechanical mind. We enjoyed listening to him talk about the different things he was doing outside the shop. We pray that God will heal your grieving hearts and comfort you during this difficult time.

Dear Barb, Scott, Pauline and Albert; Pat and I are so sorry for your loss in the passing of Ed. I have many fond memories of us as young farm boys playing together when we skied and sledded down the hill between our farms. we spent hundreds of hours sweating together while haying in the summer and many more hours crusing together in Ed's Ford convertible when the sun set and our chores on the farms were complete for the day. Ed was a true friend and will always be remembered.
