Ed was a friend. Just a wonderful person to know. We spent many warm, fun times with him and Pat. We also thank him for his proud service to our country.

Ed was a quiet and humble man. It was only through others that I learned what an accomplished and well respected man he was, and a mentor to so many. I am glad to have had an opportunity to know him and I will miss him.
