To Ed's family, please accept my heartfelt condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Ed at Mack Trucks where he was respected by all for his tremendous work ethic & his vast mechanical abilities. Many of us got to enjoy Ed's company & witness his hunting skills at Stony Run Gun Club. I'm sure anyone that knew Ed would agree that the world & our lives were in some way made better by his life.
