Not sure what to say?

Ed was a great man with an awesome family. He loved his wife and daughters very much. He liked all the yahoos that hung out around his house too even though he always yelled at us. RIP Ed!

We're sorry to see Ed leave this world after knowing him for almost 50 years and working with him for many, many years. We kept in touch all these years and will miss you.

Ed, you were a good drinking buddy after long days at U.S. Steel. We'll both miss your great sense of humor. Rest in peace. Prayers for your family.

Sending our condolences to you, Cathy, and your whole family❤ Love, Amy and family.

I am so very sorry for you loss. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.❤

What a unique friendship we had. My boss for 24 years, friends for 50 years. RIP my friend, I know you missed Carolyn, now you are together. sending Hugs and Prayers

A one of a kind, great guy! All of our love to the family. Love Kristy (Pusateri) Dobbs & Family

We enjoyed being neighbors of Ed and Carolyn for 16 years in Crete. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. We have fond memories of his kindness and his many yard improvement projects over the years! He will be missed. May God comfort you all at this time.
