I worked with Ed at South Main Bank. He was a true professional, a strong and positive personality. HIs organizationl skill were a lesson for us all. Being in his presence meant one must relax and get ready to laugh! He will be missed. My condolences to all his loved ones and many friends.

My Uncle Eddie was always my favorite and what wonderful memories I will cherish. When I was a child he was always so much fun. From playing monsters with me and watching Twilight Zone, to teaching me a a few keys on the piano, to letting me listen endlessly by his record player and then giving me some of his 45 records (which I still have). As an adult, I came to realize what a kind, positive, upbeat man he was. I loved him dearly and will hold him in my heart always. Jenny

There are no sufficient words when losing a loved one. My heart aches for you and I know that memories can help sustain you through the difficult days ahead. I pray that God will wrap us all in His loving arms where we will find some comfort and peace. In loving memory of my Uncle Eddie, may he Rest in Peace Always. Jenny Hensley

My Dear Brother Eddie, my heart is broken in losing you. We had so many good times and laughs while growing up with our wonderful parents and our brother Bud. And we have stayed close for all these years since that time. You have always helped me in any way you could and I am so grateful for that. But I know how badly you have suffered from this dreaded cancer and I'm glad your pain is now gone and that you will be happy being with Jesus, our parents and our brother in Heaven. I love you so much and always will. Your loving sister, Jean
