Dear Barbara and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Ed´s death. My husband Russ always thought so much of him. The guys spent time at Lincoln Gardens (formerly Wranglers) drinking coffee, and swapping stories. Mac worked many EIU track meets with the guys as I remember.
My sympathy on the loss of your Husband and Father.

My father built you parents house and thought the world of your dad. I met your dad when he would go to cross country meets to watch his kids run. I always enjoyed be around him. His smiles and laughter would always make my day go better.
