Ed remodeled our men´s shop yrs ago. He was managing Jack n Jill´s in Russellville & carpentry in his spare time. I got to know Ed as a retailer neighbor & us working on our store decor.

Carol & I are so so sorry. Best regards to Mary & his family. We will always have fawn memories our friend, Ed. Norman Watson,Russellville, AR
