Our lives are filled with memories of Uncle Ed. All the loving attention he showered on two fatherless girls. We are truly grateful to have been recipients of his affection and we loved him in return. We look forward to making new memories of our dear uncle when God resurrects him to a peaceful, beautiful new world! Rev. 21:4 Joy and Sunny

I remember the years on Evergreen, the endless miles of reel-to-reel tapes Ed had downstairs and the times I would go to LAV and sit in with him during his show. Ed introduced us Dutch kids to Lebanese foods and my folks loved to share time and cooking traditions across the backyards as our families grew up together. Our condolences to Barb, Sherry, Mark and to all the family. Ed was a good guy and will be well remembered.

In his nineties, Uncle Ed could light up a room like nobodies business. I could still hear him singing with my daughters and giving them tips on the "up beat" vs the "down beat".Did I mention, this occurred while he was recovering in the hospital. We will miss the wonderful blessing of Uncle Edmund. Love, Janis
