I met Ed two years ago when my family moved to Hawbotto rd. He was very kind to us. My five year old son Kit liked him so much that he would beg me to walk up the road to visit and to look at his truck. I'm so glad I got to know Ed even if it was only for a short time. I'm sure the local bears will miss him too.
Sincerely
Jason Varnadore and Kit Varnadore

He was the kindest man I've ever met. We loved it when he came in the office. He would bring pictures of deer and bears in his back yard. He would feed them all, one way or another. We absolutely loved him and we will truly miss him. My condolences to all that loved him.
