I remember working with Ed in the Detective Bureau many years ago. Ed was a “Giant” of a man. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” May God bless this family in their time of sorry.

I was saddened to hear about Ed's passing. I worked with Ed early in my police career in an undercover sting operation. We also crossed paths after the operation. Ed was a first class guy and a good cop. They don't make 'em like Ed any longer. RIP Ed, and my condolences to the family.
