Not sure what to say?

I met Ed maybe 10 times in my life, but I'll remember him expressing his frustrations with bureaucratic Dallas Code for the rest of my life. Seemed like a good dude. I wish peace to your loved ones. Au revoir.

Ed was a wonderful person to work with, and gave very good advice. He will be missed.

We have known Ed for almost 40 years, from the early days of working with Ed on sign permits at the city to working with him as our long time consultant at Masterplan. Ed was professional in all ways, attentive and an eternal optimist (which always came in handy dealing with billboards!). We enjoyed working with Ed but more importantly we valued his friendship. We will miss him dearly. -Ben Ralston, Doug Ralston

Ed, it was always a pleasure working with you in your projects. You will be missed.

I had the privilege to serve as Ed's Dental Hygienist for several years. What a dear, sweet man. So very sorry for the great loss you must feel. Our last conversation was about my recent trip to NYC and our mutual love for Broadway shows. My sincere condolences.

I am sad to hear of Ed's passing. I worked with Ed in the Economic Development Department. I knew I could always depend on Ed to brighten my day, solve problems in the most thoughtful manner with a positive attitude. He made me better at my job. Ed, you were the best! As a friend and former colleague, thank you Ed! I will miss you. May you rest in eternal peace.

So very sorry for your loss...I worked with Ed in Housing and Neighborhood Services. He was a great guy,a helpful co-worker, and a good friend.

Ed, the king of zen zoning!!
