Ed was an original. His childhood memories seemed magical - growing up free to roam his family's farm and woods with cousins. I was thinking of Ed recently as I flew to CA - that sky above the clouds so clear and vividly blue beyond our earthbound lives - perhaps contributing to Ed's passion for flying. One could not miss how Ed loved his children and gransons immeasurably.

We will miss Ed so much. He was a dear friend and fellow adventurer. We spent many great times together and he won't be forgotten. Love and comfort to his family. We were blessed to know him.
Sincerely
Mary Ann and Skip Doty
