My Grandpa was one in a million.
I think about him everyday, and miss him every moment. No one was ready for him to leave us, we still had so much to learn from him. I trust God's timing- even if it makes us sad to lose such a great man... God has the ultimate plan.I know I will see my Grandpa again- and that brings me the greatest happiness....
LOVE YOU GRAMPS!

Uncle Ed was a 'keeper' alright! His funny comments and great views on life will be missed.A strong man with a BIG heart,always touching those around him with a smile. We will keep him alive always in our hearts and memories.

I always had a deep respect for Ed. He gave me a lot of inspiration into simple things that had a large impact on my life. Strength, and a no messing around attitude to life and friendship. He cordially gave to me more than his best, Serving me coffee, teaching the basics of growing a garden, or just cutting thru to the real issues in my queries that made me stand back and listen. He commanded this respect in a gentle yet powerful way. I am only glad that I am lucky enough to be on the long list of blessed people who learned from this genuine and heroic man. My condolences ...Brian
