My deepest sympathies go out to your family. I worked with Edd for many years at Goodwill and although we fought like cats and dogs sometimes, I always respected him. He never let me down he was my go to person. We shared many special occasions in each other's life the birth of his son, the birth of my first grandson. He could always make me laugh when I was down. Edd truly loved helping people and I am so glad that I was blessed to know him. He will be truly missed.

Aunt Lin, Meredith and Justin,

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Ed. He was such a sweet man. I remember when you guys use to come over, you were both so sweet and fun. If I remember correctly Uncle Ed use to "remove" items from places you would visit and keep them as momentos!! He was my inspiration - but the items weren't quit as large!! My heart goes out to all of you - I know how much he will be missed. I'll be thinking about you. Love, Michelle

Uncle Ed - I will always remember who I bought my first car (Ford Escort) from and who employed me (Ohio State Fair) for the first time. Thanks for some great firsts! - Sending my angels to you, Aunt Linda, Meredith, and Justin.

I worked with "Fast Eddie" for several years. He was intense - and committed - particularly when he worked for Goodwill Rehabilitation Center. I talked yesterday with a former co-worker and we laughed and told stories about some of our memories of the good times with Edd. I will miss you Edd.

My thoughts are with all of you. I have not seen Ed in years. He was a co-worker of mine when he worked at Goodwill.

I bought my first car from him, the Honda Accord. Ed & I always shared jokes, as we both had a file of them. Ed was such a nice guy, I always liked him.

God Bless all of you.

Linda: I was shocked beyond belief to read Ed's obituary in the paper. I am so sorry for your loss. I know all too well that the age of 63 is way too young to loose someone you love. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Merideth,Justin,and the rest of the family.
