Read MoreEd 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.
