I'm very sorry to have to say goodbye to Ed. He was a fun, loving and caring man that was so loved by his family and friends. I feel blessed to have known him. I cherish the memories I have; many of which are hanging out in his son, Tony's, back yard, at some party or other, laughing. He, his sons, along with the other guys, standing along the fence, having a beer and chatting about one thing or another; often a fishing story, always laughing. That is the memory my mind's eye sees when I think of Ed. That smile, that laugh will always be with me. We will miss you Ed, you were loved.
May peace and wonderful memories be with Ed's family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
