I was saddened to hear of Ed's passing. Ed was a long time dedicated Teamster and a member of the Local Teamsters 294 Retirees Group. He was very active member always making and serving coffee and donuts at our Meetings. He was also a fixture along with his wife Phyllis at our annual picnics. Ed will be missed by all those who knew him. "See you later Ed God Bless".
