I'm so very sorry for the families loss.
Ed was a wonderful and helpful neighbor to us over the last 10 years.
He helped out whenever he could.
Our children loved seeing him out in
the yard working and would run over to say hello. He treated them like a
neighborly Grandfather and I know they enjoyed talking with him.
We will miss him dearly. All our love and support to Kitty in this great time of loss.
