You was always an inspiration to me. I wanted to go into the army and be like you, Uncle Kenny and uncle Lenny. Watching you ol' timers play horse shoes, baseball over by Uncle Tommy's house, and the hugs you gave me as a child. You will be greeted with honor in heaven sir. Missed greatly, but anxious to see you again.... Watch over us

My son Gabriel was so fortunate to have Uncle Ed in his life. He was a wonderful man who was so much the grandfather figure my son needed. He will be greatly missed and not forgotten.
