I remember meeting you at Union High School. We really got along. I know you remember the double dates with Roe and Ronnie, racing your Rambler American against my '51 Chevy and so many old wonderful memories when life was innocent ( well almost).
We dreamed of hitch hiking to California in study hall. well I joined the Navy and you took of to see the world. The terrible accident happened, but you kept dreaming and helped many people, despite the heavy toll life brought you.
You have taught me much about life and what it really takes to be a great human being. You are and will always be the greatest inspiration to me.
I will always love you Ed.
Rest in Peace, my friend.
