There is a vast hole at the Journal and Courier today. Ed has been an integral part of the newspaper for nearly 40 years. He was a friend to all and always had time to listen and chat. I can't remember a time where Ed was in an argument with anyone but was easy going and just an all around great guy. It was truly and honor and a joy to work with him over the years, he will me missed.
