His was a love story for the ages, with Gratia by his side. He inspired me to do anything despite my MS, which his wife battled for years. He often joked about the "Spousekeeper" and knew that she would't have it any other way. Still have their cookbook and have given copies away for years to other friends. An elegant man and a towering example of what a husband should be, may they be united in God's grace for eternity.

Ed was an Air Products colleague and dear friend over the many years we worked together. His able performance was a true contribution to the sucess of the company in all those years. Ed could be counted on- and I will cherish the memory of his friendship.
