Just thinking of you today. You were such a sweet, kind and loving Father (in-law), Pop-pop and Pop-pop the Great to all of us. Missing your smiling face. Rest in Peace.

Ed was in my class of 1952 at North. I have not seen him in years, but his smile the same in the Notice.

He was an asset to the school and surely was a joy to his family.

Rest in Peace.

I will always remember Uncle Ed as the nicest man ever and the recorder of our family history. He was there taking recordings of all the birthdays, christmas, thanksgiving, easter parties! He was a talented piano player that inspired me to love that music. We have so many memories with him and he will be missed.
