As we grieve the loss of our good friend Ed, we should also celebrate his life that he shared with us. We should all remember that laugher was the core part of Ed's live. He kept us entertained and taught us to be happy. I truly believe that Ed wanted everyone to be happy. I suspect at his very moment, he is entertaining the angels in heaven with some of his funny comments.
As we shed our tears for the loss of Ed, let us take a moment to thankful for the joy he gave us. I am very...

My dear friend, Ed - I will miss you. You were like a brother to me. We had such great times and so much fun together. You had us laughing all the time. We will miss you at our house on holidays and on Game Night - playing LRC, Shut the Box or NERT! Keep them laughing up there. I know you are entertaining the angels this very minute. Katie and Jack, Jenny, Bob and Peggy, he is in a better place and doing bigger and better things now. RIP, my friend.
