Ed was a great man!. Whenever my parents and I visited Peter, Cindy and Brooke, my parents always wanted to make sure they saw Ed! They loved him too. I can remember many memorable conversations between my Dad, Charlie and Ed....always agreeing with each other. Ed may you rest in peace and have a beer with Charlie! Love, Sta Chekas
