As my instructor at the Ammo School (probably his least favorite assignment!), Ed sold his oven from his trailer. When I asked whether he purchased a new one...he said he didn't need one, so got rid of it! I'll always remember his booming voice and laugh! Great guy.

Ed was a great friend. We worked together for many years. And read many of the same comic books! He was a valuable friend to all that knew him.

Our sincerest and heartfelt sympathy to the family. Jerry and I had the pleasure of being his friend for many years. He was a kind and generous man and will be missed.
We have many good memories of the good times we had with Ed. I especially enjoyed our Sunday scrabble games and Jerry enjoyed his trip to Canada with him and both of us enjoyed the few times he went with us to Atlantic City. We all enjoyed listening to the "oldies" together too. Ed had quite a collection. Rest in Peace, Ed.
