I remember Ed so fondly. He came with the summer and presided over The French Laundry garden till fall, with his great charm, booming voice and perpetual cigar. That very special man will always be alive in his son's special place.
My thoughts and prayers are with Thomas, Joseph, Laura and the rest of the Keller family.
