Ed was a good friend from my childhood in E.St.Louis. The last time I saw him was just before I moved away when we were just 12 years old, but I still remember what a character he was. Hanging out at the Keeney house on 82nd Street is still a very vivid memory, and I was sad to hear of Ed's passing. I'm sure the tough kid I knew from the grade school football team grew to become quite a man, and although much time has passed, I still feel that I have lost a good friend. Adult friends come and go , but the freindships of childhood seem to stay with you forever. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Keeney family.
