I knew Ed for many years as a fierce competitor on the baseball field. I played against him and with him as a teammate for many years. It didn't matter if it was "townball" played in the small towns of eastern Iowa or in a national Men's Senior tournament on the spring training diamonds of Phoenix, Ed was always a great teammate, encouraging everyone to keep playing hard to the last out. He will be missed.

I knew Ed for so many years through baseball. In my early days competing against him in baseball tournaments in the dubuque area and then later with him in the men’s senior league. Became good friends and shared many stories and fond memories over that time.
His presence on the baseball field was one to be admired and deservedly honored.
A good man!
My sympathies to the family.
