To David, Megan, Amy, and Liza and their families -I will miss my brother Edward -we had lots of fun growing up and as we got older, he really knew how to push my buttons (as I told Megan). I never won an argument!
He was very proud of his children and grandchildren. We will all miss him.

Ed, you produced a wonderful daughter, Liza, who I married 18+ years ago. We know you adored our daughter, Riley, dearly...and called her, "Red" because of her hair. I have lots of good memories of you. Your son-in-law, Nelson...or as you said, "Nels".

Everytime we saw Ed, we always discussed the book "Little Women"...one of the sweetest men I've ever met. Nothing but a pure gentlemen, and he wrote us the most beautiful letter, once he discovered we were getting married...We will treasure it forever! May he rest in peace, and will be sadly missed...Bless you, Ed

Our deepest condolences to the McDevitt family. Ed was a good friend and mentor - our dart league as well as the ADO owes its existence to his efforts - and he was a storyteller without equal. I will miss him dearly but I will make sure his memory stays alive.
