My condolences to Ed's entire family. I first met Ed almost 20 years ago when i got a really high estimate from another garage and was complaining about it. A friend suggested I check with Ed who was always fair. He saved me over 400 on what was a 1250 estimate; I was thrilled. Over the years i came to respect him as a mechanic and appreciate him as a friend. We swapped many stories about kids and his grandchildren too. In 2011 I had heart surgery and while recovering I recalled that my SUV needed inspected. My wife ran it down and shared with Ed what was going on with me. That Saturday he and this wife drove the car to my home so that my wife wouldn't have to try and get a ride down to pick it up. I will always remember that kindness that we showed to my wife which was so typical of the kind of people they were. I was so sorry to just recently hear of his passing and wanted to share this memory of my friend and favorite mechanic.

Sincerely - Greg Altsman, Erie PA

We were sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He and Skip were a great team at the shop and they both would do anything to help anyone.
I haven't seen him in a few years but would often think of him and some of his one liners that would always bring a smile.
There wasn't anyone with more knowledge and experience with foreign cars than Ed.
We truly will miss him. He is in our prayers.

Hard to believe Ed is gone... that I will never hear "Godbye" on the phone from him. We were privileged to have him for more than 3 decade as our best car doctor. It was a joy talking to him and seeking his advices.

With heartfelt sympathy,

To all the family,
So sad to hear of your dad's passing. Prayers of peace to you all. Ed was one of the best, most honest mechanics around & served our entire family over the years. We all loved not only his caring attitude but his keen sense of humor. His stories never got boring. He is now with his dear wife Skip, flying with the angels. Rest In Peace, Mr Tuli as our daughter called you when she was young.

Your dad was the best darn mechanic and a great guy. He took care of my dad's, sister and my cars years ago. My dad always said what an honest man he was. You just always knew he was going to take care of you. Condolences to your family.
