So many good memories of Grandpa. Thank you for instilling the Lutheran lifestyle in our family. Thank you for always taking us camping and the whole Santa experience. I'll never forget the lines of people to see you after Gladwin's parade. You had me fooled for a long time :) RIP Grandpa - I love and miss you!

Ed did more for people without expecting anything in return than anybody I know. RIP

May you rest in peace, Ed. You and Marilyn were great neighbors on Spring Street for many years. Many laughs. I liked living next to "Santa".
