Miss you my friend,
Ed and I were best men and best friends, not just in our weddings, but through so many good times in the airline industry and after. He was supportive during hard times and even better during the good ones. He always looked at the bright side of life. Enjoyed golfing, traveling with you and LInda, and even investing in a watercress farm!

Ed was a co-worker, bowling partner and friend of my father Everett Earls. I'm sure they have found an alley to enjoy again in Heaven! RIP Sir.
