I am so sad to hear of Ed's passing. We were close friends in the 1970's, and eventually lost contact with each other. He was passionate about life! And he was about the best friend a person could hope for - encouraging, honest, trusting, and thoughtful. To his family: I will be sending a condolence letter c/o the funeral home.

Ed had a great sense of humor and wry wit. He knew how to keep his sister in law (me ) on her toes.

A beautiful remembrance for a beautiful soul. Uncle Ed was a gentle, peaceful, wickedly funny man, and we will miss him greatly. " . . . if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God" (G.W.Carver) and in nature is where we will also hear and see our Ed. With love, Kiersten and Oliver.
