Read MoreLots of happy memories of working with and being Ed's friend 30 years ago. He is a hard person to forget. Lots of laughs and such a caring man. Ed, the last chipmunk broke this fall, and the yucca is still growing. How did we break the leg off that couch? Wonderful memories.

Eddie is a dear friend that I will always remember with immeasurable laughter. He had the kindest heart and the most wicked sense of humor. That devilish grin of his is forever branded in my memory. Eddie and I shared so many fun times. I love you Eddie, always

I took care of this lovely human being for a few years. He was the absolute sweetest man. He always gave the best advice. Never judged anyone. Just a great human with an even greater soul. Rest In Peace, Ed. Love you.
