"BIG ED"--His stature sometimes intimidated strangers, but to all that knew him he was a gentle giant whos' label of "BIG" referred to his heart which opened up to those who were fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him. A quiet man of few words yet when he spoke people listened. Ed was here on an unknown mission as evidenced by the way he was always eager to render aid when needed; lend a hand when asked and respond when necessary. While we will miss him in our sorrow, we must find peace in knowing that there will be many ahead that will be glad to see him as he moves on into his next mission. God speed Ed, you will not soon be forgotten.
